Today, I rode my new motorcycle to work for the first time. As I accelerated, I felt a sharp pain in my neck. Apparently, poisonous spiders can actually get trapped inside motorbike helmets. Duly noted. FML
thelordofpies tells us more.
Hey OP here, thanks for all the support guys. Luckily I didn't get into an accident. I was able to come out of the whole incident without a scratch but a massive itchy red welt. The doctor said I'll be fine in a few days time. :)

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Obvious solution. Soak your helmet in raid before you ride, every time.

As a super paranoid arachnophobia, I've always checked helmets, hats, and anything I wear for spiders before putting it on, so this is kind of a YDI and an FML at the same time for me.

New-found research has shown it takes around 3 weeks before you start scaling walls and develop a spider-sense. Hang in there. In the mean time, you can start working on all dat latex ;)

Ouch! Glad you're okay. Maybe shake out the helmet before you put it on--hopefully that will help.

Moral of the story: don't wear a helmet when riding your motorcycle.
