My brothers and some local kids went body boarding down the creek when it was flooding one time and they all ended up with a heap of spiders hitching rides with them.

Kayaked a hell creek one time, most arduous thing I've ever done, took 28-hours.

Did not know there were banana spiders under every piece of tree I dodged. Was so covered I gave up on using the sponge to toss 'em, went in with my fingers, fast as I could go. Anyway, I'm a little over my fear of spiders. A little.

I would have immediately drowned myself.

That's what the spiders want.
