OK hijacked for a second seeing as we are talking about the Scared Weird Little guys. I think this is almost my favourite song of theirs.

I've been bitten by a red back in the right calf muscle when I was visiting WA, rang up the poison hotline, they just told me if I dont have any serious reactions within the next 20 mins I'll be fine. 20 mins later no serious reaction, but both my legs from the knee down were sweating non-stop for the next 5 days, was really unpleasant since you would wake up in the morning and your bed is totally soaked.-'75 Passat TS

Yep, bitten 3 times on my right leg, but both legs went into sweat mode. It is bizzare. I was sitting on a bench and put my legs under and got bitten once, at first i thought it was a sharp piece of wood stabbing me, then I went back, got bitten a second time, then done it a third time and stopped. 5 mins later it started to get itchy and you can feel the venom going through your veins, Flipped it over and behold a big fat mama Red Back.
So I've never been bitten before this incidence and i got 3 times the amount of venom so im guessing there not as dangerous as they are made out to be.-'75 Passat TS

That was many years ago, now it wouldn't be a big deal for me or the missus.

Had a few Huntsman spiders on cars over the years. The funniest (as it wasn't me doing it) was when a mechanic went to open the bonnet and it leapt out from underneath. Also they hang on very well up to about 100km/h on glass...
Haven't had any funnel webs on/in cars but have had many in the backyard pool when growing up. Always had to watch out for them before getting in to swim as they can live for a good week or more underwater (air sack created in their fur).GTI | Carbon | Man | 5 door | Leather | 18" Detroit | Bluetooth | MDI | Bi-Xenon

I hate them all... when it rains the huntsmen come in. When It's cold, the white tails and scorpions come in and if I don't surface spray around my piles of wheels or window frames every few weeks I get red backs. I've been bitten by a huntsman, it itched for months. I was bitten by a wolf spider, my whole hand went numb for a day.
I am generally a very gentle person, but I kill them all, when they come inside they are trespassing.I'm going to the pub... I may be some time...
