A giant asbestos-infected tarantula is feared to be on the loose on the streets of Cardiff after a gruesome attic discovery.
The alarm was raised after a team of asbestos removal experts from Kuston Vorland found its recently-shed skin in an abandoned 19th century house in the Roath area on Tuesday.
Experts believe the creature could have doubled in size to seven inches, with its exposure to asbestos making it potentially even more dangerous to the public.
so can't be a hoax. The snow/cold weather will kill it though.
I'm closer than that to chris. But I don't mind spiders and don't see what all the fuss is about asbestos. Most people of my age lived with asbestos for years with no apparent ill effect. Indeed, when they discovered that it had been used as a building material in my school, they evacuated the whole school apart from my year as we were taking out O Levels.
