"There was a spider in my coffee" - How Twitch streamer reacted after swallowing a spider that was in her coffee

Twitch streamers are no strangers to capturing some of the most unusual moments live on their broadcasts. SincerelyLyn had a similarly peculiar experience when she comically took a sip of her coffee and unwittingly swallowed an actual spider that had made its way into her mug.

SincerelyLyn, who was clearly processing what had just happened, said:

"I think there was a spider in my coffee and I just (drank it)."

She added:

"I am gonna throw up, that's so f**king gross, holy sh*t! I'm gonna cry. I felt it, I crunched it. I pulled it out and I saw it."

Fortunately for her, and to alleviate any concerns, swallowing small domestic spiders is not harmful at all. Human bodies are quite adept at breaking down food, and the spider would soon be dissolved in the stomach acid.
