how do you keep snakes out of your house, venomous spider species in the u.s. they primarilyinhabit the southern and southeastern parts of the united states. as their name suggests,they prefer keeping to themselves despite being extremely poisonous. about half of all brown recluse bites resultin harmful symptoms. when their fangs manage
to pierce through your skin, the results canbe very dangerous. typical symptoms include nausea, vomiting, intense muscle and jointpain, skin rashes. and high fevers. the skin that has been bit will oftentimes either dieor become infected in a process known as necrosis. their bites can also cause loxoscelism; acondition in which the damaged tissue becomes gangrenous and begins sloughing away slowlydue to the gangrene. additionally, once the venom makes its way into your bloodstream,you may experience blood clotting, organ failure leading to a coma, and ultimately, death. although most healthy adults are likely tosurvive a brown recluse bite, children, the elderly, and those with weak immune systemsare at greatest risk of dying or suffering
from the severe symptoms. the bites themselvestend to be painless, meaning they can often take between two to eight hours before anyharmful effects begin appearing. fortunately, antivenom and modern medicine have provento be effective treatment methods. experts suggest, however, that once a person is bit,an attempt must be made to capture the spider and take it with when seeking medical helpas it is fairly common for bites to be misdiagnosed. chemical burns, various skin infections, andeven herpes and syphilis have often been mistaken for brown recluse bites. in fact, it is estimatedthat close to 80% of all reported bites are actually misdiagnosed. number 5: the yellow sac spiderthe yellow sac spider refers to a range of
spider species that are native to many partsof the world, including japan, europe, australia, africa, and india. like the brown recluse,the yellow sac spider's bite is highly venomous and can cause necrosis of the skin. in someinstances, their bites have also been known to cause mrsa infections, which can be deadlyif not treated appropriately. also known as staph infections or methicillin-resistantstaphylococcus aureus, mrsa is a bacteria that causes difficult-to-treat infectionsin humans. symptoms include boils, impetigo, and in more severe cases, pneumonia and death. yellow sac spiders are well known for beingattracted to the smell of gasoline. they also have an inexplicable proclivity of weavingwebs inside of mazda vehicles. this is problematic
as it can lead to fuel blockage and fuel pressurebuildup, which can ultimately start an engine fire. as a result, mazda recalled some oftheir mazda 6 models in order to place software that notifies drivers of any yellow sac spider-relatedproblems in the engines. number 4: the redback spiderthese poisonous spiders make their home in australia. they prey on insects and otherspiders, injecting them with their venom in order to kill them. they then wrap the insectsup in their silky webs and suck out their insides. they've even been known to hunt downand kill larger prey, like lizards. redback spiders also present a serious threat to humanswhen they interact. in fact, they are the cause of the majority of serious spider bitesin australia.
one who is bit by a redback spider will likelysuffer from an illness known as latrodectism. this is a disease that presents symptoms suchas stomach cramps, loss of coordination, vomiting, muscle pain, convulsions, and sweating. because they prefer habitats close to humans,they bite humans far more often than any other spider in australia. as many as 10,000 peopleare bit each year in australia, 250 of which require immediate treatment. they often occupydark holes, or clothing items, such as gloves and helmets. therefore, bites often occurwhen people put on their gloves, hats, and other similar clothing. bites to the neckand ear area as well as the hands and fingers have increased over the years as the use ofsafety equipment is nowadays more commonplace.
before indoor plumbing was widely used, itwas fairly common for redback spiders to bite people’s genitalia in old, dark outhouses. number 3: the funnel web spiderfunnel web spiders reside in australia with bites that have proven to be very lethal towardshumans. their particularly powerful fangs are capable of tearing through fingernailsand even shoes. of the 35 species that make up the australian funnel web subfamily, sixof them are harmful towards humans. due to the size of their fangs, these spidersadminister a bite that is very painful. bleeding will often occur, and if envenomed, the victimwill experience symptoms such as sweating, mouth tingles, goosebumps, increased heartrate and blood pressure, watery eyes, salivation,
confusion, muscle spasms, and metabolic acidosis.in extreme instances, unconsciousness will follow while fatalities have been the resultof elevated intracranial pressure. the funnel web spider's venom and subsequentsymptoms spread very rapidly throughout the body. therefore, it's imperative that thosewho are bit seek medical treatment immediately. wrapping the wounded area in a bandage andapplying pressure to the bite is highly advised until the proper antivenom can be administered.failure to do so can lead to death in as little as 15 minutes to 2 hours. number 2: mouse spidersmouse spiders get their name from their ability to dig deep burrows, much like mice do. they'reindigenous to australia and although their
venom has deadly potential, attacks on humansare rare. mouse spiders emit toxins similar to that of the funnel web spider. victimstherefore experience many of the same symptoms as funnel web spider bite victims. but withthis comes the fact that the same antivenom that's been effective in treating funnel webspider bites have proven to work just as effectively on mouse spider bites as well. number 1: the brazilian wandering spideralso known as the banana spider, the brazilian wandering spider is indigenous to brazil andis found rampant among the country's abundance of banana trees. they hold the distinctionof being the world’s most venomous spider. the name “wandering†is indicative ofthe banana spider's behavior. they often wander
into dark areas such as boots, boxes, clothes,and log piles where they will bite people if they're unintentionally disturbed. they'vealso been known to be accidentally packed into sacks of bananas and shipped todifferent countries abroad, where they await to attack their unwary victims. those who are bit by a brazilian wanderingspider are likely to suffer from symptoms such as intense pain leading to eventual deathif left untreated. a single spider once killed two children in sã£o sebastiã£o in sã£o paulo,brazil. in another case, a man was bit when a spider was lurking secretively in a crateof bananas. although he suffered from severe
pain and spent nearly a week in recovery,he did manage to survive the encounter thanks
to professional medical treatment and swiftadministration of the proper antivenom. find out more about deadly things in naturethat'll kill you by subscribing or clicking on one of the links below.
