16 Feb 06 - 10:15 PM (#1670612) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Redback on the Toilet Seat From: JennyO Not only that, but the 'redback on the toilet seat' idea is a very well-known piece of Australian folklore - referring to the outdoor dunny which is so much a part of Australian folklore that it has had books written about it. I should know - I have one hanging near my (indoor) loo, courtesy of freda underhill (a book, that is, not a spider, although we have those hanging around too). Jenny |

18 Jun 10 - 08:38 AM (#2930456) Subject: RE: Chords: Redback on the Toilet Seat (Slim Dusty) From: GUEST,andrew Well I was bitten by a Redback spider on my foot a few years ago and I don't recommend it! It was hiding in my shoe which had been left outside overnight. Didn't hurt much at first, but after a few hours it felt like I'd been hit with a hammer, a very large one. Made both of my legs sweat. Went to local hospital who gave me some anti-venom,told me I needed two thingies of it but they only keep one in stock! Told me to go to another hospital the next day, where a doctor said it would just get better by itself and gave me some very strong pain killers. It was all OK again in about 72 hours. I did meet Slim Dusty once [who didn't sing it!]at an EMI Records function. |

They import squashed cans for recycling in huge containers. On opening one container it was swarming with redbacks. It was closed and fumigated PDQ but the Occ Health Dept had to keep anti- venm after that. Empty cokecans and dark - ideal breeding grounds for spiders Stu |

There are 4 species in the US and Canada. |
