Funnel-web bites are dangerous and first aid should be given immediately using the pressure bandage/immobilisation technique (as for snake bite) and the victim taken to hospital and given antivenom if necessary. Most ambulance vehicles are also equipped with anti-venom in areas prone to funnel web activity. The venom has a neurotoxin component that attacks the human nervous system and, in the worst cases, can result in death however there have been no recorded fatalities since the introduction of anti-venom.
