A supermarket in Austria has been evacuated after a venomous Brazilian wandering spider believed to cause long lasting painful erections was spotted in the bananas. According to Live Science, the Brazilian wandering spider’s venom 'stimulates' an erection that lasts for hours. The long-lasting painful erections are caused by the toxins if not treated promptly, which makes it especially dangerous to male victims. The size and coloring of the unidentifiable spider however led them to believe it was a Brazilian Wandering Spider, capable of emitting a deadly neurotoxin. The Brazilian Wandering Spider is featured in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's most venomous arachnid.
