US: Dangerous spiders found at school
SAN ANTONIO, TX, United States (UPI) -- A Texas elementary school has been invaded by brown recluse spiders, a species that inflicts a sometimes deadly bite.
Staff members at the Highland Forest Elementary School in San Antonio first spotted the spiders this week, the San Antonio Express News reported. Children were moved out of classrooms where the spiders were seen, to the cafeteria or library.
The brown recluse bite typically leaves its victims with a red mark that can, if enough venom was injected, turn into a necrotic wound. Molly Keck, a Texas Cooperative Extension entomologist, told the newspaper about 1 percent of bites are fatal.
But the spider is also shy. Experts say most bites occur when the spider hides in clothes or, occasionally, when someone rolls over on the spider in bed.

holy shit, how can they keep that school running? brown recluses are probably the most dangerous spiders alive. their bite causes flesh to literally dissolve, those kids are in serious danger even if they leave the rooms.
Why can't these morons close school so that their children are not put in danger?
