I Survived Being Bitten By World's Deadliest Spider | Australian Reptile Park

A funnel-web spider bite survivor has met with the Keepers who contributed to saving his life at the Australian Reptile Park this week. With the Australian Reptile Park being the only facility in the world to milk funnel-web spiders for their venom to produce lifesaving anti-venom, staff were thrilled to meet with 19-year-old Ollie Kay, who received two vials of antivenom in February after being bitten while asleep in his bed.

Snakes I’ll deal with all day. Even tarantulas. But I’m not dealing with the little spiders at ALL.
