The Dean Academy, in Gloucestershire, England, closed on Wednesday because of a supposed false widow spider infestation. The false widow spider are very similar to black widow spiders, but aren't nearly as dangerous. Although these spiders have not bitten anyone yet, local health authorities suggested that the school closes so they can terminate the infestation. Local health authorities are also saying that these types of spiders are becoming more common throughout the UK, and a species of the false widow are one of the most dangerous spiders in Britain. These authorities also said that the spiders are not very aggressive and don't usually seek humans and compare their bites to wasp stings.
