Question: do we actually eat spiders in our sleep

Karen answered on 6 Nov 2018:

The good news is that it’s unlikely that we eat spiders in our sleep! If your mouth is open while you’re asleep, you’re probably snoring, and that’s enough to scare a spider away. Spiders are more likely to stay where there are flies and bugs for food so hopefully you’re bed will be free of those. It’s a really interesting question though, because eating insects (on purpose!) is something we’ll have to consider in the future. Insects can be a good source of protein, but they can be easier to produce than the protein from meat. Scientists are working on making food from insects at the moment! I saw a picture of a chocolate cake made from crickets! So I think spiders should try keep as far away from us as they can 🙂
