An Austrian supermarket reopened following a three-day closure to clear the store due to an alleged sighting of a spider with a deadly bite that could also cause an hourslong erection.

The Penny Markt in Krems an der Donau closed Tuesday after the store manager spotted the spider in a banana box and immediately called the fire brigade to investigate.

The manager described the spider as about 4 inches long and colored black and red. The authorities initially suspected it was a banana spider, but previous cases of spiders in bananas from South America have identified the spider specifically as the Brazilian Wandering Spider.

An erection is just one of the symptoms experienced while you die.

Looking up the effects of its venom...

O_O >-< O_O >-< O_O ??? !!!

Effects of its venom include: painful swelling at bite, muscle weakness, tremors, difficulty breathing or speaking, paralysis,
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, irregular heart beat, high blood pressure, chest pain, abdominal pain, cramping,
and, of course, a chance of painful death.

That is a set of performance issues that make performing any bodily function, like staying alive and not dying, more challenging than usual.
