for instance putting on a Superman suit does not mean we can fly, photograph Pixabay, and in that line of thinking three brothers who watched one of the Spiderman movies, from Potosi, Bolívar, aged 8, 10 and 12, recently wound up in the hospital after being bitten by a black widow spider, by actually coerced the spider into biting them by putting it on their skin and prodding it with a stick, according to Bolivian newspaper El Deber, the three brothers were huge fans of Spider-Man, and earlier
this month, as they were out grazing the family goats on the outskirts of
Chayanta, a town in Bolivia’s Potosi region, they noticed a black widow.
Instead of staying as far away as possible from the dangerous arachnid, the three brothers recalled how Peter Parker became
Spider-Man and decided to try it out for themselves, the older brother went first, making the spider bite him by
prodding it with a stick, and then he helped the middle and youngest brother
get their own shots at becoming real-life Spider-Men. It took about 10 minutes
for the symptoms to show, and when the boy’s parents returned from gathering
wood and found them crying in pain, they took them to the local health center, unfortunately, the medicine received by the brothers at the
Chayanta health center didn’t help much so they were transferred to a hospital
in the small town of Llallagua, where their condition continued to worsen. The
next day, they were taken to the Children’s Hospital in La Paz, with muscular
pain, sweating, fever and tremors. It was only after a serum against black
widow spiders was applied that the kids started feeling better. They were
discharged on May 20th. “I am only sharing this story because it should
act as a warning for parents to be careful. To children everything can seem
real. Films can be real, dreams can be real and they are the illusions of
our life,” said Virgilio Prieto , head of Epidemiology at the
Bolivian Ministry of Health, that is the point, kids do not know 'stuff' that we
take as adults for granted, and this is not an isolated case,
photograph AsiaWire, a brother and sister aged 11 and 9, reportedly became addicted to
popular video games Mini World and Game of Peace during the lockdown caused by
the spread of the SarsCov-2 virus. Their parents had bought them a smartphone,
and they would spend up to eight hours a day playing the two mobile games at
the family home in Handan, China. On March 22, the two children jumped off of
the family’s 50-foot-tall residential building to see if they would come back
to life, just like their video game avatars. The pair were critically injured,
breaking numerous bones, and required several surgical procedures, “[My sister]
said: ‘Big brother, let’s see whether we’ll come back to life like in the
game.’ Then she and I tried [jumping off the building],” the 11-year-old revealed to reporters. “She was willing at
first, then she was afraid. I told her to close her eyes, then I took her hand
and went first. I don’t remember what happened after that.” just remember we know stuff kids do not, so remember to pass that knowledge on, I hope all concerned make a speedy and healthy recovery.
