At least this one didn't spend the whole time bashing spiders. I was surprised.

Boy, 8, let black widow bite him because he wanted to become '"Spider-Man"

After being bitten, the boy captured the spider in a glass and went home. Around three hours after, he began to feel bad but soon recovered with anti-venom.

With multimedia blasting in kids faces constantly, the fantasy world of superheros becomes a part of their reality. All it takes is inattentive parents, many of which use the multimedia entertainment world as the child's babysitter and distraction, lending to their mental fantasia landscape, parent supported and even promoted.

Of interest to me, biology wise, is the choice to quickly administer an antivenin. Maybe this shouldn't come as a surprise. I've been mostly out of the ER loop for a couple of decades.

I wonder if he'll develop the 'ol Spidey sense so that he can avoid any future dangers.
