Medical attention should be sought if bitten. Virtually all spiders have poison glands that connect with the fangs. Venom produced by the glands apparently is used to kill or paralyze prey and in defense. However, only a few species, such as the Redback, Whitetail and the Funnel Web, have venom that is very toxic or harmful to humans.
Remain calm, collect the spider, if possible, for positive identification and get medical attention immediately (contact your physician, hospital and/or Poison Information Center & apply antiseptic solution to prevent infection and ice packs to relieve local swelling and pain directly to the bite area.)
Steps to prevent encounters with spiders:
- Shake out clothing and shoes before dressing, and inspect bedding and towels before using.
- Do not go barefoot or handle firewood without gloves.
- Remove piles of rubbish ; eliminate cluttered areas in garages, wardrobes, roof cavities and other outbuildings.
- Dust and vacuum thoroughly and more in normally undisturbed places.
