Throat spiders

"The pteranodons mostly attacked women with glasses. Authorities are still unsure why, as Night Vale’s only flying dinosaur expert, Joel Isenberg, still has not recovered from last year’s bout with throat spiders." - Welcome to Night Vale, episode 4

I laugh every time I hear the phrase "throat spiders." :-D Probably because there are loads of people I would love to hex with such an affliction.
