Do we swallow spiders in our sleep? and if yes, wouldn't that be dangerous?


Question:
this is something that ive wondered about for a few days after my friend said he woke up after swallowing one.

Answers:
well i am terrified of spiders so i thought it would be dangerous too but a person who studies spiders said that they are actually a good sorce of protein im not saying go eat a bunch of spiders because that could be dangerous but if you swallow one in your sleeps its ok.
It's dangerous as hell. For the spider.
We don't really SWALLOW them, but they supposely crawl down the throat and.. probably disolve in the acid of our stomach. But yeah they say 75% of people HAVE swallowed a spider in their lifetime. No not really dangerous I mean their spiders.Maybe if a poisonness one did but if you have poisonness spiders in your house.you might want to move.
Its nasty, but i highly doubt its dangerous. There are only a few spiders that are deadly to humans.
I have heard that most people swallow 5-6 bugs a year including spiders, house flies, fruit flies and other household bugs. I don't think it's dangerous at all, because many cultures eat bugs, and daddy long legs are poisonous, but they are too small to cause a problem. Any other poisonous spider, like a Black Widow, or a Brown Lacruse I think you would notice WAY before you swallowed.
My question-
how does your friend know she swallowed a spider-
if she was sleeping?
