black widows (we call them red backs) are common as shit here, I cant count the number of times I have been bitten by the bastards while fixing headers and tractors

ya ultra rare here, when i went to lejuene 2 train with marines they had fucktons of them, we went into the training area forest with some snipers, sat off on some logs and rocks and fallen trees... and at the end we flipped over the rocks and logs and looked at fallen tree... found like 30 brown recluses and 15 black widows just on the places we was sitting

ridiculous how many they have up in their training area, the sniper was saying they have estimates of like 10,000 per km

and shit

we dont have recluses at all here, i think they are endemic to NA

recluses are nippy, wont case u, but it easily scared and will bite in self defense every time... so u sit down on its hole... it tries 2 bite u

wont chase*

are they dangerous or just painful?

they kinda destroy flesh

i think its painful to adults, dangerous 2 kids, but our medics had some special shit for them... so not sure if its dangerous without meds

necrotic venom? ouch

all i know is our medics where like... 'if something bites u and u dont know what it was... come 2 us quick'

just google 'brown recluse bite'

and if u know it was a brown recluse or a black widow, come 2 us quick

yeah I keep meaning to get some anti venoms here at my place, we have been getting more and more spiders since I put in the grain silos

snakes*

not spiders 🤦🏻

strayaman - also the anti-venom goes bad after a while

it doesnt have a long shelflife

i think it is a 12 month lifespan for most snake ones

we can get them subsidised where i live because it is remote, as in 50km to nearest clinic and 300km to closest real hospital

thats like 3hrs via air ambulance ;o

30 and 200 miles aprox for you savages

more like 2 but still

like an hour 1 get to you and an hour back, (including time for dispatch and loading unloading)

fuck that, just drive like a nutter, call the cops on the way and let them know, they meet up with you and will escort until you meet up with the ambulance

spooders

ya we dont have much poisonous shit here, the worst thing we have here is lionfish... and them fuckers we hunt like a mofo and eat

is illegal to use a speargun... is illegal to do elastic spear hunting with airtanks... but for lion fish airtanks and spearguns are legal 🙂

when they are hated so much the gov suspends bans to kill them

Spoodieman

Germany has 16 dangerously poisonous spiders
only 4 of those are actually capable of piercing human skin
And only one of those lives near humans (one from a recluse family)

And that recluse is not very venomous out of those 16, relatively speaking

strayaman - we have only had 1 death from sharks in the last 100 years... we have had 3 deaths from lionfish in the last 10 years

Not enough loli in here.

jesus

and that 1 death from sharks was only 2 years ago
