The redback is the cousin to our black widow. Bites usually cause local pain, muscle cramps, and rarely serious systemic illness. Although there is an antivenom, it is rarely needed. Contrast that with this nasty player that is common around Sydney: http://www.australiangeographic.com....nel-web-spider
Prior to antivenom, fatal bites from male funnel web spiders were seen from time to time - especially in children. One kid reportedly died within 20 minutes. Thus, get bit on the pecker in the wood and you may have to make some tough choices real fast.

I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.

Speaking of funnel web spiders, a friend of mine is a British expat who works very hard as a consultant for 9 months of the year and is financially able to spend three months of the year at his home in Australia around Christmas time. His wife travels with him while he's working, so they both return to Sydney at the same time. His job when they return home? He gets to kill all the funnel web spiders in the house before his wife goes in. In my house, my wife kills the spiders. I'm too afraid.

No time for the details now, but Robbie Leatham got bit in the same place (pecker/out house) by a scorpion at nationals in FL many years ago.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
The lesson here, kids, is to take a dump at home in relative safety.
