Should I drink out of a glass that had a dead spider floating in water?

Well I messed up big time - left a glass of water out over night.

Woke up this morning and there was a dead spider floating in it.

Not sure if I ever wanna drink out of it again even after washing...

The only way to be sure is to fill the glass diesel fuel and light it on fire.

Spiders are natures filters. They absorb all the toxins out of water leaving it cleaner and healthier for drinking. You should never drink out of glass without a dead spider in it.

You missed your chance; you should've drank the water dead spider and all, you might've turned into Spiderman...

You should pee in it to cleanse the spider's evil essence. Afterwards, wash as usual and use.

I've taken a drink with a spider in it before. Just grabbed the glass when I woke up and took a sip. Also drank a bit with a silverfish in the glass. Haven't died yet.

There was a statistic that throughout our lifetime we ingest quite a few spiders. Whether it fell in our food or was inhaled while sleeping we dont realize it. You could have actually eaten the spider and absorbed its power.

Spiders aren't exactly known for carrying microbes...not dangerous ones or a particularly high amount anyway. I consider most invertibrates "clean" (not flies and dung beetles, obviously).

...by "invertebrates," I meant "insects and arachnids."

(crustaceans can be pretty nasty, I guess.)

I read somewhere, on average, you eat 3 or 4 spiders a year in your sleep. I think you'll be fine using that glass.
