miguel takes a 'fix it when necessary' approach to any issues that arise from his dna being 50% spider. some of the problems / vulnerabilities he's attempted to address scientifically include;
occasional biting reflex; leading to a need to bite objects / materials durable enough to withstand his fangs. sometimes becomes a venomous bite, but is dependent on how recently engaged he was in combat. much like actual spiders, it serves to subdue and immobilize prey, and is more often produced during combat / shortly afterwards.
effects of pesticides; recent exposure to an unknown insecticide resulted in symptoms consistent with flu. healing factor took longer than usual to purge the toxin, (made further worse due to the additional presence of recently received injuries). his ability to produce webbing was also hindered, necessitating a period of recovery (he got 'grounded')
reduction in sleep & appetite; it is a rare occurrence that he'd get a full 7 - 9 hours of sleep, short of passing out / getting knocked out. in reality, it is closer to around 4 - 5 hours. he has regularly gone over a full day without resting or napping. similar is true for his eating habits, where it is a common occurrence for him to decline meal offers, or simply forgets to eat entirely. this has led to occasions where his biting reflex returns with a vengeance, pushing him to act in ways that appear more arachnid than human until his hunger is satiated.
current balance of human to spider DNA stands at 48.1% to 51.9%; this has led to an increased number of incidents where miguel bares his fangs, without realising. LYLA continuously monitors the balance. so far, all his attempts to restore his human DNA from existing samples has failed, with efforts continuously ongoing to find a solution.

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
