If there were a way I could acquire these worm laced spiders, the outcome would be hilarious.

First i'd just like to say never go to @BoldChild place cuz shit has all kids of dangerous critters roaming about and if it wasnt for his deadly folder i dont think he would be with us today.

As for that spider it was infected by a Mermithid Worm and heres a lil about it

“Mermithid worms are internal parasites whose infective larvae enter spiders directly or via ingested food. Once inside the spider, the tiny worm obtains nourishment from it’s hosts body fluids, digestive glands, gonads (‘parasitic castration’) and muscles. As a consequence the spider becomes progressively more debilitated, but doesn’t actually die. This is because the spider’s vital organs usually remain intact, even though all of the abdomen, and occasionally part of the cephalothorax, may be filled with worm coils. Eventually in a scene reminiscent of the movie “Alien”, the gorged worm bursts out of the body of the debilitated spider, which finally dies after this macabre event. Before it dies, however the spider often has to perform one more task for it’s deadly parasite. In some mermithids, the final free-living stage of the worm is aquatic, so that it is advantageous for the worm if its emergence can take place near a water body – a pond, a creek or puddle. To increase this likelihood, such worms seem able to induce their hapless hosts to seek water, spiders sometimes actually walking into the water before the worm emerges. This behavior may result from thirst-induced activity as the worm consumes the spider’s body fluids. Whatever the reason, there is no doubt that the spider’s water seeking behavior helps to ensure the parasite’s survival and propagation.”

i thought lysol could kill anything...

Take a bucket and mix up a batch of shoe polish, orange juice, raid roach spray, paint thinner, bottle of acid for toilet clogger, and a cigar for looking cool as your killing. Nothing survives that combination
