Anyone who has listened to me for any length of time knows how much I HATE when folks use their social media platforms to feed into the idea that spiders are dangerous and aggressive creatures. The way I see it, they are already feared and even loathed by so many that we shouldn't be helping to fuel that hatred. Now that I've moved into keeping some true spiders, I'm noticing that some of the ignorant hyperboly has intensified, and I'm being asked more often why I have such a "dangerous" hobby. In today's episode, we have a fun conversation about how truly blown out of proportion the idea of spiders being particularly dangerous creatures truly is.
