watch our top 10 worst spider bites in the world, 1. The Brazilian wandering spider holds a Guinness world record for the world's most venomous. The venom it injects is almost 20 times more powerful than the Black Widow once it gets into the bloodstream. The effects of the venom mirror some of the world's most poisonous snakes. The effects of a bite include loss of muscle control which can shut down the respiratory system which eventually would lead to death. Other side effects include intense pain from the bite itself, and with those teeth you'd struggle to wonder why, and gentlemen, you might want to stay even further away because it also causes a 4 hour erection. Yep, a 4 hour erection. Although this might sound great to some, it's actually extremely painful. As you can imagine, the name of the spider gives a clue as to why its so deadly, in that it wanders around wherever it chooses to go, including houses, shops and even boots or a box of bananas. Fortunately for us an effective antivenom has been developed. 2. The Hobo Spider can deliver a serious bite to lab animals and their bites can cause necrosis and these bites cause an open wound which may take many weeks to heal. The Hobo spider is aggressive and fairly common, which increases the chance of an actual bite occurring. In fact the hobo spider is sometimes referred to as the ‘aggressive house spider’. Previously, this spider was common throughout Europe and went practically unnoticed, only recently popping up in America. Where it differs is that in Europe the hobo spider is not found in houses – other bigger, meaner house spiders keep it out! 3, The camel spider is something you'd only see in a Stephen King film, something you wouldn't wanna meet in a light alley never mind a dark one. The biggest kind can reach 6 inches in length and it looks like an alien from another planet, its powerful jaws making up about a quarter of that. The secret here is that the Camel Spider isn't even a proper spider, they are in fact a type of arachnid known as solifuges. Also known as wind scorpions, solifuges are found in deserts throughout the world. The reason they feature is because they look so fierce and grow so big. They have thunderous speed and can reach 10mph, their bite isn't venomous but can cause some serious tissue damage and infection can easily set in from their wounds. 4. The yellow sac spider is one to avoid, this little tiny guy can give quite a nasty bite out. These spiders are only around 10mm long and an ugly yellow colour and are quite widespread around the world. The venom of the yellow sac spider is a cytotoxin, which means it breaks down cells, possibly causing necrosis. Bites are characterized by an initial stinging pain followed by redness and swelling which can develop into a blister or sore. 5. Here is the world's most famous spider, the tarantula, specifically the fringed ornamental tarantula, and they have fangs that use a stabbing action unlike most other species that use a pincer like motion. But everybody knows that despite their terrifying demeanor, tarantula bites aren’t so bad, right? Well it may be true that most tarantula bites are no worse than a bee sting, however the fringed ornamental tarantula are renown for having a particularly nasty bite. The bite from one of these is reported to have caused excruciating pain, and extreme muscle cramping in some cases. One bite victim ended up in the emergency room after experiencing severe spasm and chest pains. So whilst there have been no confirmed fatalities from this tarantula it certainly carries a potent venom and injects it by the bucket load. 6. This Australian spider is one of 12 species of mouse spider, which come from Australia, and their name comes from their soft furry abdomens and not from the fact they might eat mice, although I’m sure they would. Armed with huge fangs and a venom that is similar to that of the deadly Sydney funnel-web spider this spider is every bit as dangerous as it looks. Whilst the mouse spider is potentially dangerous it is far less aggressive than the Sydney funnel-web plus it often gives ‘dry bites’, i.e. without venom. Therefore it appears lower on this list than its meaner cousin. if you enjoyed reading our list of Top 10 most venomous spiders then watch the video for more info on big spider attacks and deadly spider bites Check out other channels in our network - BABOON TV: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrT-gj4C3qkCfsTgs7-rp9w ROCK BEARD: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDnhRBA3A5x1dArhcvtDWAw
