Default Old School Contraception

So, my insurance won't cover birth control. Doesn't seem like a smart financial move, since it covers pregnancy and childbirth almost completely, but hey, whatever.

I recently stumbled across a home recipe for birth control in Pliny's Natural History (29.27.85). Feel free to try it out.

tertium genus est eodem phalangi nomine araneus lanuginosus, grandissimo capite, quo dissecto inveniri intus dicuntur vermiculi duo adalligatique mulieribus pelle cervina ante solis ortum praestare, ne concipiant

"There is also a third type of phalangium, a hairy spider with an enormous head. When this is cut open, there are said to be found inside two little worms, which, having been attached to women in deer skin before sunrise, ensure that they do not conceive."

Anyone know where I can find a tarantula?
