Blue Mountains funnel-web spider
The Blue Mountains funnel-web spider is a venomous spider found in eastern Australia. It lives in the Blue Mountains and the Illawarra District of New South Wales. Its bite can cause serious symptoms, so it is important to know what it looks like and what to do after a bite.1

Its venom contains versutoxin, a neurotoxin (a poison that attacks the nerves) that is very similar to robustoxin from the Sydney funnel-web spider. It causes an autonomic storm, a disruption of the body's automatic systems. Symptoms can start within 15 to 20 minutes and include sweating, local pain at the bite site, fluid in the lungs (pulmonary oedema), high blood pressure, nausea and vomiting.1

Bunas novitads: ils medis han in medicament (antiserum) u in tractament per quai.1
Sch'el morda
- Apply a pressure bandage in the same way as for a snake bite. This can significantly delay the onset of symptoms and is a critical part of treatment. The bite can be treated with antivenom made for the Sydney funnel-web spider.1
- Lava la morsa e sfradenta ella. Tschertga agid medicinal, sche las dolurs èn fermas u sche la persuna na sa senta betg bain.

Resta en segirezza
- Na tutga, na piglia e na tizza mai in animal selvadi, gnanc in pitschen, ed era sch'el para da durmir u d'esser mort.
- Dà spazi a l'animal. Sche ti scuntras in, resta calm, va plaun enavos e lascha ir el per sia via.
- Sch'in tal animal ta morda: resta calm, na ta mova betg, clama tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911) u va spert en in ospital. Ta regorda co ch'el veseva or, ina foto gida.
El n'ha betg quai sin tai. El dovra ses tissi per pigliar nutriment u per sa defender, e sa zuppa bler pli gugent. Dapli davart la segirezza
