If it bites you, current first aid advice for healthy adults is ice and rest and something to puke into and to seek medical advice if it gets really bad.
Are you sure? A large, healthy male barrister got bitten by a redback last month, and he spent two weeks in hospital.
On the bright side, just about anyone from Melbourne is familiar with the symptoms of an asthma attack and knows how to treat it, and the odds aren't too bad that they can lay hands on a Ventolin puffer if you don't have yours.
And Ventolin is available without a prescription for less than $10!
