Live to be 20!
And heres how they attack...

yup, that are the most deadly spider in Australia alright, and as far as I know, the world.

We have everything bad here, the most deadly snake, the most deadly spider etc. If you get bitten by the funnel web, you have like 1 hour to get to a hospital, or you die. Maybe it's less than 1 hour, not sure.

I haven't actually seen one my self, and I don't plan on it either!

A friend of mine had one living in his house, I went to check it out, I saw it, but I don't think it was a funnel web.
They're the most famous spider, yet in the past 10 years the hasn't been 1 fatal accident resulting from a spider bite.
They live in the bush, rarly spin webs, if they do, they're a funnel web (hence the name).
But sometimes, if you live near the bush, they can actually some inside your home and they find them selfs to dark, moist area's like under the sink, even your shoe.

jk (its quite disturbing actually)

[CarSuperfreak]

hm.....i dunno, that doesn't really look real to me; why would someone let the bite sit there for 10 days without treating it?

throughout your entire life you are never more than 3-5 feet away from one

Which brings us to the next question, how do they get there in the first place. I do believe my family and me try to keep the place as clean as possible, but every once in a while you see them, in a corner, under a desk. Things that make you go hmmm.

[WickedNYCowboy]

They crawl there.

That and they are very fast and aggressive unlike the Black Widow, which isn’t very aggressive, and butt ass slow once it isn't in its web. Also, the Australian Sea Snake, there is no anti venom for that right? You get bit, and you die.

Anyhow, I find spiders in my house all the time. I don't know what kind most of them are but I have my names for them. The ones I do know are yellow sacs, wolf spiders, black widows, and the good old daddy long legs. We also have the ones with white specs on their backs and they move around like they're on crack so I call them the raver spider and there is another one that is red and very slow, looks like a crab. I have also found a lot that look like brown recluse spiders. They're probably just house spiders but I kill them just to be sure. I would hate to be bitten by a hobo or recluse. One other I found that baffles me was a huge gray spider. I was out in the garage and saw what looked like a wadded up piece of paper on the ground. I went to pick it up and it sprung to life. It was a damn spider; sort of n ash gray in color, and huge with legs and all it had to be a good 4" in diameter and its body was good sized as well. Pretty fast to as it ran out side before I could stomp on it. I'm still trying to figure what kind of spider it was.

Raz, that was just sick...I'm at work and almost got caught with that...here comes lunch......been bit by three black widows. I'm now officially immune. The local hospital here takes my blood to use as anti-venom. I also wanna become immune to Cobras...You get paid for your anti-venom blood then.

There's actually no official and effective vaccination or anti-biotic for the recluse spider venom. S if you get bit, you have to live with it.

[CarSuperfreak]

wow

so it doesnt kill you? it just does that to you??




not that having to endure that looks mych better
