When the doctors at the hospital told me I was too late for the anti venom they gave me I almost died of fright. Fortunately what they went on to say is that anti-histamines and a stay in hospital was all that would happen.
That itching was something like I have never felt before, it was awful, probably the worst thing about the whole event.
Redback spiders can be very small and you don't necessarily feel them bite, so obviously when you're out the back cleaning up, moving wood for a bbq and so on you won't always notice the initial bite - I didn't - but by 2am my NYE had kinda gone bad that year
Now I use gardening gloves all the time if working outside.
