You know, throw some meat or something outside of my yard hoping they would follow it! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Do you know what kind of spider got you? Clearly it wasn't the red back or you'd be taking a dirt nap. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
Wolf Posts: 3423 Joined: 9th Jul 2008 Location: Australia	quotePosted at 13:18 on 3rd October 2008 I was bitten by a redback when I first arrived in Australia ( painting gutters on a house ) they are really not that bad, though they make you feel sick and feverish. Not good if one has a week heart. The knee one did not make me sick but itched like hell, and still does at times. I think that was a White tailed Spider. The most deadly is the Sydney Funnel Web Spider. If you worried about it too much , you would never enjoy the outdoors. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I agree Wolf. We have some creatures here too you wouldn't want to share a sleeping bag with. Rattlesnakes, scorpions, ticks, etc. You learn to take precautions. When we go camping now, we sleep in cots to get us up off the ground. Not to mention that the old bones just can't seem to take sleeping on the ground anymore. lol The biggest problem we had here in the last couple of years is West Nile virus, transmitted by mosquitoes. And of course, we usually have a few people a year who get bitten by a rabid fox or bat. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
