[Music] well what's up little kitty making a radioactive [Music] spider oh no no no it might be a good film but in reality it's crazy to think of it let's explore that by answering a filmy question what if a deadly spider bites you zoom in I'm sure many of us have wondered if getting bitten by a spider could give us super Paw just like in the movies well while it's fun to imagine the scenario the truth is far more dangerous than Fiction that's because in the real world spider bites can be risky especially when it comes to species yes while most of the over 40,000 spider species are harmless bites from certain spiders like the Brazilian wandering spider Sydney funnel web spider and black widow spider can cause serious health issues let's dive into why and how this happens you see when one of these venomous spiders bites you the first thing you'll feel is pain and swelling around the bite area this can be followed by some pretty scary symptoms like erasing heart changes in blood pressure muscle cramps and even feeling dizzy or nauseous what happens next depends on a few things the severity of your symptoms the type of spider and how strong its venom is for example the Brazilian wandering spider has venom with neurotoxins that can mess with your muscle control and make it hard to breathe the funnel web spiders Venom acts super fast and can really mess up your nervous system the black widows Venom also targets the nervous system causing muscle pain and cramps all over your body on top of that if you're allergic things can can get even worse potentially leading to anaphylactic shock if you don't get treated quickly and worst of all in rare cases especially if your immune system isn't strong a bike from a Brazilian wandering spider can be fatal so it's really important to be cautious around these venomous spiders and know what to do if you get bitten so what should you do if a spider bites you well first stay calm and try to identify the spider or take a picture of it this could be really helpful later then wash the bite area thoroughly with soap and water to prevent infection if it's a bite from a nonvenomous or less dangerous spider you can use an ice bag or a cool wet cloth on the bite to help with pain and swelling but if you think it's a venomous spider don't waste any time get to a hospital right away tell the doctor what the spider look like and they can give you the right treatment and antivenom if needed but as the saying goes prevention is better than cure be extra careful in places where spiders like to hang out like garages attics and and wood piles make sure these areas are free of spiderwebs wear gloves long sleeves and pants when you're gardening cleaning the garage or working around wood piles keep firewood outside to avoid bringing spiders indoors and always shake out your shoes and gardening gloves if they have been stored in places like the garage shed basement or rtic by being prepared and acting quickly you can protect yourself from the serious health risks posed by venomous spiders save your time did you know that according to the guine world records the Sydney funnel web spider is the most dangerous spider to humans in the world yes but the banding spider shares the title as well sketching time today's sketch of the the day goes to Krishna nand hope you learned something vital today until next time it's me Dr boox zooming [Music] out never mind
