Does Dr. Mike allow himself to be bitten by a tarantula?
I was never afraid of my pet tarantulas until the owner of our local pet store told me he was bitten by one and that it was horribly painful (his wife claimed he made the story up).

Tarantulas are bad ***. I love em. I like Black Widows, and orb spinning garden spiders. The big ones that you walk through their webs at night...mmmmm
