The Sydney Funnel web spider is the most poisonous spider on earth, causes comas, seizures and death within the hour of the bite. Those who believe the wandering spider (or more officially, the banana spider) is the most venomous are incorrect and it is only reported the most dangerous because there are more reported bites, but it is not as venomous.

The above statement is actually incorrect. The Brazilian Wandering spider's venom is far more potent then that of a Sydney Funnel-Web. It hosts a neurotoxin that is near-identical to the one of a King Cobra and can cause paralysis in a matter of minutes. Death in roughly an hour.

The most defining difference in deadliness between the two Spiders is the fact that there is a cure for the Sydney Funnel-Web spider's venom. While the is but only a treatment for the bite of a Brazilian Wandering spider. The Brazilian Wandering spider's venom can kill just as quickly as a Sydney Funnel-Web spider's venom can, but can also cause permanent damages.
