South Texans wading through Hurricane Dolly floodwaters to salvage homes and belongings now have another problem: the floodwaters are laced with stinging fire ants, snakes and tarantulas.

Sweet baby Jesus and all the angels. As if flooding wasn't enough for these poor folk. The creepiest animals alive are now lurking in the murky depths? Eek.

"You don't want to wade in this water," said state Health Services Commissioner David Lakey. "You don't want to play in this water. You want to stay out of this water."

Good advice, burly, reassuring American. Take heed, Texans.

    • Considering that most women in Texas are tougher than the vast majority of men on this website, I'm pretty sure Texans will be just fine. If you live in Texas and your 1st experience with snakes and tarantulas comes from a hurricane, you're not a native Texan.

    • I don't think tarantulas can survive in water. But I dunno for sure. :P Inform me. At least it's not those funnel-spiders O___O
