Blimey, a big fat round zero. :thumbsdown:

Should have known the spider one, as I was bitten by it when I was in Australia once (but not in the dunny).
 
you (and the hapless victim) have been very unlucky. I've been close to hundreds (or thousands?) of redbacks and have never been bitten. Once got bitten by a garden orb spider, but that was relieved by cortisone cream.

I worked as an offloader (furniture remover) in Sydney for several months. Me and my workmate were lifting an old cupboard out from the shed when I felt a sharp pain in my left hand. Managed to get the load into the van and then almost blacked-out. My mate asked me what was wrong, and he then lifted the cupboard up and saw the spider that had bitten me. I asked what would happen and he said I'd either die, or not. :laugh: Nobber.

I was youngish, fit and healthy so just felt rough for 2-3 hours and was fed cups of tea and glasses of whisky by the old lady who reckoned it was the best 'medicine' for me.
 
First this year congratulations
