There was great excitement in an Aldi branch in Georgsmarienhütte.

A spider bites an employee and disappears without a trace.

Georgsmarienhütte - For the employee of an Aldi branch in Georgsmarienhütte (district of Oldenburg) the shock must have been great.

He was bitten by a spider while handling a banana box.

The man was taken to a hospital for observation, a police spokeswoman said on Wednesday.

"But it is not dangerous," emphasized the officer.

Spider bites Aldi employees: animal was not found

The market was cleared immediately after the incident.

Together with a spider expert, the police and fire brigade searched for the arachnid, but in vain.

The search was stopped after three hours in the late afternoon.

"We couldn't control the spider yet," said the police spokeswoman.

According to information from

RTL

, the employee is doing well under the circumstances.

Accordingly, the bite should be a dry bite.

That is, the spider did not release any poison.

The bananas were imported from Colombia and the Dominican Republic, according to police information.

Which spider species it was, however, is unclear.

According to experts, bites from poisonous spiders are not necessarily dangerous to humans.

Spiders in banana boxes are more common

Time and again spiders are discovered in banana boxes.

A supermarket in Ludwigsburg was only cleared shortly before Christmas because of a spider.

Last July, the world's most poisonous spider was found in a Norma store.
