Have any of you ever been attacked, bitten, stung etc by dangerous creatures and how did it come about?? I say this because I had one of those dreaded incidents a couple of years back here in Australia which as you know is known for deadly creatures.

Check this spider out:

Now I am terrified of spiders so this was my worst nightmare, I was in bed when suddenly I got a painful nip on my toe, turned on the lights and discovered this spider under the sheets!! Its called a mouse spider and is venomous, I was severely ill for a while, nausea, sweating, vomiting hallucinating etc. Had to go to hospital for an anti-venom. Out here you always need to keep your eyes out!
