Fear of spiders runs through the lives of many people. This despite the fact that no venomous species live in the wild. What should such Australians say? The poisonous spider moth, one of the most venomous spiders in the world, is on the loose on their continent.
– The female is the size of a dinner plate when its legs are spread, so no one would miss it.
– More dangerous in this case are the males, which have 7mm long claws.
o It can even bite through the skull of a lizard.
This spider has the most dangerous venom for humans and monkeys. It is not dangerous to other mammals. No other deaths have occurred since scientists created an antidote. These spiders are often seen inadvertently falling in swimming pools. But they can survive for hours. They become aggressive when they feel threatened.
The venom causes
– difficulty breathing
– rapid pulse
– increased body temperature
– difficulty swallowing
– visual disturbances
.
If help is not immediately available, the patient dies as a result of heart failure. The antidote must be administered quickly, as the spider\’s venom will certainly kill within 3 hours.
