Mate of mine got bit by an Australian redback/black widow, here in Australia. Was in hospital for observation for most of the day and for the next 2 weeks had no energy. Couldn't even lift hi 2 year old.

A child getting bit by one may die if untreated I guess, but it's the Funnel Web spider, particularly the Sydney Funnel Web, that holds the most fear here. Bastards.

Me no like spiders.
