The worst thing is that they have to inject the antivenin close to where the spider-bite is located.

I feel for the bloke, having been bitten by a white-tail spider (on the big toe....the spider was in my sock) and had several close-calls with red-backs and funnel-webs.
On one occasion (1971) a funnel-web was on my pillow when I went to bed one night. I didn't sleep in that room again until after the pest exterminator visited the place.

All just part of living in paradise, actually.
