Still Waters Posted February 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2017 A 10-year-old boy is lucky to be alive after surviving being bitten by one of the world's deadliest spiders. Matthew Mitchell required what is believed to be the largest dose of antivenom ever administered in Australia - 12 vials in total - after experiencing numerous convulsions. The youngster from Berkeley Vale in New South Wales was helping his father clear out a shed at their home when he was bitten on a finger by a funnel-web spider which was inside one of his shoes. http://news.sky.com/story/biggest-ever-antivenom-dose-saves-boy-bitten-by-funnel-web-spider-in-australia-10779509 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebDandelion Posted February 24, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) I hope he recovers without any side effects! (meaning side effects of bite exhibiting itself later, even though he doesn't have any now) Edited February 24, 2017 by DebDandelion 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
