If you got really, really unlucky and every single detail lined up perfectly, it’s possible that you could swallow a spider.
“Knowing the anatomy of our mouths and our throats and the physiology of how we sleep, it's nearly impossible,” Erich Voigt, M.D., chief of general/sleep otolaryngology at NYU Langone Health, tells SELF. In the improbable event that a lost and confused or bold and brazen spider did decide to waltz in the direction of your mouth hole, it’s doubtful that you would end up swallowing it. Human biology also makes swallowing a spider unlikely. As Skvarla explains, the booming vibrations you produce as you sleep (rolling over, shifting slightly, even breathing) are going to be a huge turnoff to spiders. But one major way spiders interpret the world is through vibration receptors on their legs. So, how do hunting spiders know where their next meal might be? Arachnids detect the presence of their prey in various ways depending on the species, Skvarla explains, from eyesight to chemical cues. While a hunting spider could theoretically venture into an area where there is little or no prey, like your bed, Skvarla says spiders generally confine their hunting grounds to the areas their spidey senses tell them prey is more prevalent.
