Some researchers in Australia managed to identify a species of giant spider called the most deadly in the world.

It is said, the poison on the spider who was named Colossus was able to kill adult humans less than 15 meenit.

Quoted from Mirror.co.uk, Colossus has a length of 7 cm and a width of 8 cm, and is commonly found in wetlands in southern Australia.

Some of the Colossus spiders are now featured as a collection of Australian Reptile Park on the outskirts of Sydney City.

One of the spider's collections was found in a residential area in Somersby City, in the state of New South Wales, and could make one of the local residents so victims.

Luckily, the victim who was bitten by the Colossus can still be saved, despite having to undergo intensive care for two days.

The poison in Colossus has a chemical complexity that is almost identical to the poison of rattlesnakes, where the antidote to it is still not perfect.

If exposed to toxins, the blood flow will be disrupted so that inhibit the supply of oxygen to the brain, which then leads to death. Unlike other poisonous spiders, Colossus has a size large enough, so its existence is easily traced.

There is hardly a record of poisoning cases from being bitten by Colossus, compared to poisoning by other types of deadly smaller spiders.

The threat of toxic dangers to reptiles, including spiders, has been a serious concern for Australia for a long time.

In 1981 ago, scientists managed to find an antidote to spider poison. But later on, the bidder is known not enough to weaken the poison in some newly discovered reptiles.

Australia is widely regarded as one of the places that has enough deadly reptiles, including spiders.

Kangaroo country is quite often get reports about cases of poisoning due to spider bites, but no one ever really died.

When you encounter spiders, or other toxic reptiles, make sure to stay calm, and immediately contact the rescue workers. Reptiles will attack if there is a sudden movement, so stay calm.
