Redback spiders aren't really that big, not like huntsman spiders for instance. The one my mum found was big for a redback though.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!
I found a sizeable spider in my hostess's tub. I took care of it though!

This study examined over a hundred confirmed bites by Lampona spp. (the genus to which the white-tailed spiders belong) and found NO evidence of necrotizing effects like recluse bites produce. The venom is however, known to contain proteases, but as far as I am aware, does not contain sphingomyelinase-D. IIRC the main protease components are hyaluronidases. If white-tailed spiders do pack sphingomyelinase-D, then they must not produce and/or deliver very much of it.Apparently they can produce slow-healing wounds, but they do not become necrotic like recluse spider or viper bites do.
