Am I mistaken or is it true that everything in Australia is trying to kill people?

Is there ANYTHING in Australia that won’t kill you dead?

Thank God all we have here to worry about is black widows and brown recluses:

To people living in Texas and other parts of the South: NEVER LEAVE YOUR CLOTHES OR TOWELS ON THE FLOOR. Brown recluse spiders might take up home there. Symptoms of their bite are similar to this. (Had a friend go through that. No amputation but several weeks in the hospital and they had to take a chunk out of his leg.)

The world’s 10 deadliest creatures in terms of bites or venom live in Australia— and more people are killed by cows each year than all of the others combined. :)

The author is confusing necrotizing fasciitis caused by bacteria with the necrosis caused by this spider bite. There’s a big difference between spider venom and bacteria, even if the end result looks similar.

No Australia wildlife story is complete without the official tourism theme song:

Come to Australia, you just might get yourself killed

They have a spider that will bite thru a boot. I lost nothing in Australia, so will never go there.

Mama was right. Pick up your clothes and don’t leave the laundry laying around.

We used to have to shake out our shoes due to so many scorpions.

I went on a geology field trip outside a town in far west Texas after a hard rain. We were driving down the highway and the tarantulas were all over the highway drying out. Kind of like those crabs spawning in the south pacific islands. They were just smashed spots on the road from all the cars running them over. We pulled over and a fellow student let one crawl up his arm. Freaked me out, told him to get that thing away from me.
