Funnel-web spiders
The funnel-web spider is a type of venomous spider that is found in Australia. There are around 40 different species of funnel-web spiders, and they are all known for their aggressive behaviour and potent venom.
Funnel-web spiders are typically found in moist, sheltered areas, such as under rocks, logs, and in burrows. They are also known to enter houses in search of food or shelter.
Funnel-web spiders are not typically aggressive towards humans, but they will bite if they are threatened. Their venom is a potent neurotoxin that can cause severe pain, swelling, and even death.
There is no specific antidote for funnel-web spider venom, but treatment can help to reduce the effects of the venom. Treatment typically involves the administration of antivenom and pain relievers.
If you are bitten by a funnel-web spider, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
