According to some people, this is exactly what happened during the use Janeiro soil Delícia soak body butter for intense humidity and repair of the skin barrier, a lotion sold by Sephora.
In relation: Doctors continue to find spiders in people's ears - these are the revealing symptoms .
On a page for the lotion on Sephora, a Examination since deleted Affirms: "If you are afraid of wolf spiders - pay attention to these LOL lotions. I wanted to love them so much, but one of the ingredients is like Kryptonite at Wolf Spiders! When I put it instantly, we will come out. Normally, I'm going to see one every 3 years, I used this and it was every day. I stopped using it and I haven't seen it since. " AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB
Other beauty enthusiasts displayed the review in a popular community in Reddit, where the accusations have continued. "I am just a little dive into chemicals that attract spiders because I really don't like insects. According to studies? There is a pheromone produced by a woman. person wrote .
"Chemical analysis reveals that the Farnesyle acetate, phthalate diisobutyl and hexadecyle acetate of spider canvases also presented a higher relative abundance in sexually receptive females ''. The Reditor continued.

Scientists also found questionable affirmations. Shawn Gleason , PHD, entomologist and founder of Insect encyclopedia , explains that to understand why the examination is so bizarre, it is important to understand the behavior of spiders.
"Wolf spiders, by nature, are not attracted to specific scents such as Farnesyl acetate or hexadecyle acetate," he said. "These spiders are hunters that count on movement and vibrations to locate prey, not perfumes or lotion ingredients."
Thus, the idea that a certain perfume could attract spiders is a myth - because this is not how they understand the world. Instead, spiders react to the things they can understand, such as food and shelter. "Factors such as seasonal changes, especially in the warmer months, can increase their visibility as they become more active in the search for companions and prey," explains Gleason.
Thus, people could see more wolf spiders inside as they escape icy temperatures during the winter months. But they will probably not see them because they seduced them with the perfume.
