View Atrax robustus is considered the most dangerous among voronkovich spiders
If you are afraid of snakes, spiders and other potentially poisonous animals, you definitely should not go to Australia. Because it is this continent home to the largest number of reptiles and arthropods, which bite can lead to imminent death. Recently Australia passed and at the moment there are heavy rains. According to the staff of the Australian reptile Park, changed in the course of hot weather, rains in the city of Sydney may appear a large number of poisonous creatures. We are talking about the so-called voronkovich spiders, the venom which is not dangerous for Pets, but lethal for almost any person. But as Australians will be able to escape from death?
About the impending danger was discussed in a scientific publication citing . Scientists estimate that in Australia there are more than 40 types voronkovich spiders, but most of them are not dangerous to humans. But among them there are species under the name of Atrax robustus, from the bite of which in the period from 1927 to 1981, died about 13 people. Every year, during periods of high humidity, they come out of their burrows often fall on areas where people live. Now in Australia is very humid, so locals should be careful.
the Most poisonous spider Australia
Voroncova the spiders grow to a length of 5 cm and build their nests in damp and cool places. There were times that they lived right in the homes where people lived. In certain circumstances, the bites of this spider can cause death of a person. The fact that the information contained in the poison is a substance called Delta atractoscion directly affects the human nervous system. After 10 minutes from the time of the bite victim's blood circulation and begin shortness of breath, vomiting and diarrhea, sweating, muscle cramps, and experience other unpleasant symptoms. Body like going mad and all this is accompanied by terrible pain.
At the moment scientists know about 40 voronkovich spiders
If time is not given is bitten by a spider in a hospital, it certainly ends with his death. Fortunately, in 1980, scientists were able to develop an antidote, by which the number of deaths from the bites of spiders voronkovich reached zero. Yes, annually in hospital with bites treated 30-40 people, but almost all of them can be saved.
The Serum, which every year saves hundreds of lives, created from the blood of animals immune to the poison. In most cases, the researchers extracted the poison spiders and inject it into the bodies of rabbits. Animals begin to produce antibodies, which are a major component of life-saving antidote.
Though the antidote to the bites exist, the researchers still recommend that people be careful. In the woods you need to wear closed clothes, but if the deadly spider was at home, it needs to be carefully drive in a glass jar. The spider can't get out of it, so people will have the opportunity to take him to the Australian reptile Park.
