Alright, the kids and I were at the grocery and went to buy bananas. We always have a contest to see who can get the greenest ones so we all grab a bunch. The ones my oldest son grabbed had a small, white, web looking patch. I said I thought it looked like a spider egg and flicked it with my fingernail. Immediately, bunches of tiny, baby spiders started running out of it all over the bananas. I looked at the label and they are imported from Costa Rica so I figured I better tell someone. Gave them to a worker who seemed pretty freaked out. Checked my bunch and no spiders so I bought them. Got them home and my kids were afraid to eat them so I pulled them apart to show them they were alright. Yeah.....well, there was some freaky little whitish, mite looking bug attached to the top of one. So now the kids have sworn off bananas forever and I am wondering just how safe they really are.
