Is the Sydney funnel web aggressive to humans?
It is true that when threatened the Sydney funnel-web shows some aggressive behaviour, like rearing up and displaying their fangs. It is true that males have a tendency to wonder into backyards and often fall into swimming pools, where they can survive for hours. They may also sometimes get trapped in houses. It is also true that Sydney Funnel-web spiders have one of the most toxic venoms to humans of any other spider in the world. The Sydney funnel-web spider has the most fearsome reputation of all the spiders. Although this is a formidable spider, some of the facts have been exaggerated. However, it is not true that all bites from these funnel-web spiders are life threatening. The venom of the juvenile and the female Sydney funnel web spiders are much less toxic. People believe these spiders hunt people, chasing them down, jumping on them and biting vindictively. They also believe these spiders take up residence in people's homes. However these are just urban myths and completely untrue. The bite of the Sydney Funnel-web spider is quite dangerous and needs first aid treatment immediately. The best action to take is the pressure bandage (immobilisation technique), the same as for snake bites. The victim then needs to be taken immediately to hospital and they will administrate the anti venom if necessary. The venom itself has a neurotoxin that attacks the nervous system, and in worst cases it can lead to death. However, there have been no recorded fatalities since the introduction of the antivenom. ------------------------ Long story short, the Sydney Funnel-Web is known as the most aggressive spider on the face of the earth.
