Pffft, my wife was bitten by a spider 2 weeks ago and she was ill for a week. She does not know what species bit her and neither did the doctor. I suppose that's what we get for moving to Australia. Found a family of Red Backs living in the wall next to the car port last week, now they will give you a sore one.
