Hello,
In keeping with my mother's penchant for keeping tabs on all threats to one's survival (i.e. "Oleander leaves are poisonous. You will did if you eat them."), I now issue this Mommy Alert:

According to the Los Angeles Times, a tropical Brown Widow spider has been discovered in Torrance as part of an ongoing spider survey by the Natural History Museum. Twice as poisonous as the black widow, the brown widow can grow up to one and a half inches long and has an orange to yellow hourglass design on its underside. Its bites are not normally fatal because they inject small amounts of poison when they bite.

So, do what you must. I recommend running through the streets screaming.
