There was a supplementary paper that noted the AGGT gene string was being activated by this fungal process and led to giantism with some individuals reaching the size of dogs. Growth spurts of this sort in spiders studied were accompanied by hyperactivity due to respiratory problems and an insatiable hunger for flesh. Twelve specimens that seemed most prone to these symptoms are being flown to the Huugens Spider research labs in Baltimore for further study. Results are not expected to be immediate due to problems Baltimore is currently having with its security.

(If I am not wrong this is a Resident Evil reference)

No sorry I just made it up, I did play the original Resident Evil back when the world was young but nothing after and have not seen any of the films beyond them just being on in a room I happened in but some cultural reference may have seeped into my head when I wasn't on guard.
