Today, I rode my new motorcycle to work for the first time. As I accelerated, I felt a sharp pain in my neck. Apparently, poisonous spiders can actually get trapped inside motorbike helmets. Duly noted. FML

Hey OP here, thanks for all the support guys. Luckily I didn't get into an accident. I was able to come out of the whole incident without a scratch but a massive itchy red welt. The doctor said I'll be fine in a few days time. :)

Obvious solution. Soak your helmet in raid before you ride, every time.

There are no poisonous spiders, only venomous. Unless there actually are spiders that you have to eat to get sick

What do you think is caused by the venom.

We all know what OP meant, though. Can we stop being pedantic and focus on what we usually do in the FML comments? Start working on Godwin's law, of course.

Thankfully it didn't cause you to have an accident. But reading this made me cringe, I dislike spiders so much!!

Glad you made it out fine OP, I had a brown recluse in my helmet recently. It bit me before I left the driveway and left one hell of a mark. Ride safe.

i would suggest a helmet bag (even a plastic bag) or else keep it in your house....That's where I keep mine

I don't have a bike anymore but when I did I thoroughly checked my helmet and boots and gloves before I rode every single time even though I kept them inside and in a bag. The only reason I did that was because I found a scorpion in my helmet once!

Helmets can be a web of danger too , I guess!

I accidentally downvoted your comment, but I live in Australia aswell, and haven't been bitten yet, and I've been over here for four years.

I was born in Aus and still live here and haven't been bitten yet either after 20 years, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. We have some of the most ****** up shit here and I would prefer to check every time and not get bitten over not checking and having a nasty surprise!

Australia, where the plants are poisonous, the critters are highly venomous & the wildlife will take a bite outta ya, as soon as they look at ya. Come, relax, and try not to die. I have a family of huntsmans that live in my house, so they tend to catch everything. Sometimes, I even buy them bugs and feed them.
