This depends on your age, health and whether your are allergic to the venom. If you are not allergic, and are in good health, it can take up to 48hrs for the venom to kill you in normal conditions. They are actually not as dangerous as many think; the reason they are considered a dangerous spider is more the fact that they often live where humans do, and therefore people are often bitten.
The last death from a redback bite was in 1979, due to development of antivenom. There are 14 deaths ever recorded.
