Stephanie and Michael discuss a science experiment from the 1930s that explored whether Black Widow spiders are in fact poisonous. The scientific method is sound! How do you get a spider to bite a rat?

Harvey Washington Wiley was the American Chemist that created the poison squad. It's an interesting story, one that I heard about on Gastropod.
