      I think the spider would die of a horrible and slow death by drowning your stomcah acid, if it somehow managed to escape being squashed by your oesophagus. It would be a sad way to go, so I wouldn’t try it.

      That’s true, it wouldn’t live for very long! If it could somehow survive then it would depend if it was poisonous or not if it harmed you or not!
