怎麼認出牠

Both males and females have a shiny black carapace (the hard shell covering the front of the body).1
Legs, chelicerae (the fang-bearing mouthparts) and abdomen are dark brown to black.1
The carapace is longer than it is wide.1
Males have a pale patch on the underside of the abdomen.1

毒液力量

咬

咬的時候，毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。

牠的毒液有什麼作用？

The venom of males and females is equally toxic. It becomes more toxic in early summer, after the spider has fasted over winter. Bites can cause severe envenomation, which means a serious reaction to the venom.1

牠對人有多危險？

對人的危險: 非常危險如果沒有治療，牠可能會害死一個人。

Of 14 recorded bites, two caused severe symptoms. Bites from females have also caused milder cases of envenomation. Males are more likely to be met in early summer, when they roam looking for mates.1

好消息：醫生有藥（抗毒血清）或治療方法。1

如果牠咬人

The venom can be treated with antivenom made for the related Sydney funnel-web spider (Atrax robustus), which has been used successfully. Medical care is needed after a bite.1
清洗咬傷處並冷敷。如果很痛或傷者覺得不舒服，要就醫。
在澳洲，任何大型黑色蜘蛛的咬傷都要當成漏斗網蜘蛛咬傷處理：加壓固定法：用彈性繃帶緊緊包住咬傷處，再往上包住整條手臂或腿，用夾板固定，並讓傷者完全不動，直到救援抵達。
