Anti-Venom Running Low For Deadliest Spider

Life-saving anti-venom is in short supply for the treatment of bites from the world's deadliest spider.

A funnel-web spider bite can kill a human in just hours if the anti-venom is not injected into the victim but supplies in Australia are running at less than 50%.
Now experts who milk the poison from the spiders to create anti-venom are appealing to the Australian public to catch the deadly creatures so they can increase stocks....

It's time for you to do your bit....Good Luck.

Which will most likely result in plenty of people being bitten and lots of anti venom being necessary, which will lead to low stocks ...:doh:

Precisely...and end up at critical levels :huh:

Not much chance of TarJak catching anything in boots left outdoors on an evening...I've shared a Texas hotel room with him and believe you me....his feet are more venomous (odour wise) than any funnel web :har:
