The white-tailed spider is a slim, long-legged spider that lives in southern and eastern Australia. It gets its name from the whitish tip at the end of its abdomen. It hunts other spiders at night rather than spinning a web, and it can bite people.1

The bite injects venom. Typical effects are a small red or discoloured bump that burns or itches, along with local pain and swelling. Rarely, the bite causes nausea, vomiting, malaise (a general feeling of being unwell) or headache. These symptoms are generally mild and go away over time.1

Privel per umans: DolurusQuai po far propi mal, ma i n'è bunamain mai grav.

Bites are generally mild. In a study of 130 confirmed white-tailed spider bites, there were no necrotic ulcers (areas of dead tissue) and no confirmed infections. The effects were mainly local, such as pain, a red mark, swelling and itching.1
