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

Haeba e loma
- 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
