You should try living in Australia. I don't mind spiders, but I don't particularly like them either. The main spiders here are Huntsmens and Funnel Webs. Huntsmens are fairly commen and can give a painful bite while a bite from a Funnel Web can be fatal, if not treated within an hour or so.

Australia has some reasonably deadly creatures down there! What surprised me after my 36 years on this planet is that platapuses are poisonous! You have to worry about alot of small stuff we only need to worry bout being torn apart by a grizzly or cougar!

Not to forget our old fave redback on the dunny seat ;)

...I hate spiders, got bitten by a spider on the bottom of my foot not long ago. Docter says it was probably either a huntsmen or a whiteback. Was not fun [img]tongue.gif[/img]
