I have a question for Mark on spiders
are there any spiders that there is no anti venom for?

If so how do you protect yourself in the house from these poisonous spiders?
Traps? Spray?

I would love to visit Australia it looks a wonderful country and the folk so friendly
but the spiders and snakes would worry me. :?

They have anti venom for the two deadly ones, the Redback and Funnel Web.

Hundreds get bitten each year by Redbacks but it has been a couple of decades since somebody died.

You have quite a long time to get to the hospital and get the anti venom.

Not as many get bitten by the Funnel Web but you have far less time to get treatment.

Don't let the fauna scare you off. There is always something dangerous lurking nearby but they are not out to get you.

Any encounters and bites are by accidental confrontations.

Except for the Crocodiles and Sharks, they are out to get you :lol:

No problem with that but keep it friendly
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
