Found a redback spider in the bathroom and it escaped before i could kill it. Now im creeped out.

Now before yall get mad at me for trying to kill a spider, it's a bloody red back. Poisonous af. If it was a tarantula or huntsman I would've just caught them in a container and put out it outside. But this mf was a red back. I don't wanna mess with it.

Don't freak out - it hurts but it won't kill ya.
I been bit by one - and yeah - mother fucker hurt - but not as bad as being bit by an inchman.
Read up on it - everyone responds differently - after 24 hrs - all pain was but gone and just left with a bite mark.

It's only kids and animals that it's wjen it becomes dangerous.

@OogieBoogie we do have a toddler in the house but he doesn't go into that bathroom so it'll be good then.
I did think a bite would a bit more severe than that though; I'll have 5lto look it up then.
Ill leave it alone but when I saw it I was just like 'oh fuck no'.
Thanks for the info tho

@SeductiveCactus oh hey - still go "oh fuck" when I see one.

I wonder too if it matters what time of year you get bit, the size or age of it, and whether it's pissed off or not. some poisonous creatures can regulate how much venom us dewkivered. ( I have no idea with the redback - but the fact that the reaction to their bite varies greatly.
