Which one, watching spiders crawl into sleeping people's mouths, or screening feces for spider parts? I assume the former. Couldn't be done in a laboratory, that would skew the data. You'd have to go to their houses, and sit next to them while they slept. Wearing infra-red goggles? Would spiders show up on those? And never relax your vigilant attention, lest you miss a Spider Event. With only an average of eight Spider Events per person per year, how many man-years would it take to obtain a statistically significant sample?
