Woman Finds Huge Black Widow Spider On Clothing Rack At Lululemon Store In Viral Video
A woman was horrified after she found a rack of clothes at a Lululemon pop-up store filled with an entire cluster of cobwebs and crawling with what appeared to be a huge live black widow spider.
The woman, Ellen Danz, a season expeditor for the athletic clothing brand from the Washington D.C. area, was left disgusted after the shocking find. She took to her TikTok handle to share the video of the incident and the clip has since gone viral with over 8.1 million views and 1.5 million likes, Daily Dot reported.
"Can we talk about the cobwebs," the woman says as she sifts through clothes, running her hand over the rack to remove the cobwebs. An entire cluster of cobwebs is visible as she continues to browse through the articles of clothing. "What? What is going...?" Danz says in the video.
It is then that the huge black spider comes into view. The woman can be heard screaming after spotting the spider and the fellow TikTokers were left "distressed" after watching the video.
"My heart stopped when I saw the black widow," one user wrote. "I’m actually screaming THE EGGS," wrote another. "I feel like seeing a black widow is like seeing a famous person it’s so rare lol," said a third person.
Responses continued to pour in and users also wanted to know the location of the store stating that they would never go. "Don’t worry about shopping this location, it shutdown a week later," the video said. In a video that followed, a worker appears to be carrying the spider outside the store.
The final video of the post is about the spider being released to the sidewalk outside the store. "Flame torch it," a user said in the comment.
The first post garnered over 24,000 comments with people showing concern for the woman. Black widow spiders, predominantly found in the western and southern parts of the U.S., are aggressive in nature and extremely venomous, to say the least. A black widow's bite can cause fever, numbness, sweating, pain, and worse, paralysis. The spiders largely inhabit grasslands, forests and deserts, according to Live Science.
