"  If you&amp;#039;ve ever felt self-conscious about having an irrational fear of spiders, well...you shouldn&amp;#039;t. Spiders are really effing scary\u2014a fact we were reminded of in the wake of rock legend Jeff Hanneman&amp;#039;s recent death.  Hanneman, one of the founding members of thrash metal band Slayer, died this week at the super young age of 49\u2014and some believe his untimely passing had something to do with a spider bite he sustained. Apparently, he almost lost his arm after the potentially fatal nip, the effects of which might be connected to his death by liver failure.  While we may never know for sure what caused Hanneman&amp;#039;s too-soon demise, we&amp;#039;ll gladly continue to shriek and run when confronted with a gnarly arachnid. You can never be too careful, right?  Want more from Natasha? Follow her on Twitter or find her on Facebook. Photo: thinkstockphoto "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
