the dangerous effects of caffeine

Spooky photos, but your subject heading is misleading.  This wikipedia
article (which includes the same photographs) makes a clear
distinction between the dangerous side-effects of caffeine on humans,
on the one hand, and spiders and other animals on the other.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine

"While relatively safe for humans, caffeine is considerably more toxic
to some other animals such as dogs, horses and parrots due to a much
poorer ability to metabolize this compound. Caffeine has a much more
significant effect on spiders, for example, than most other drugs do."
