The Australian Reptile Park has issued an urgent warning that the long-lasting effects of COVID-19 lockdowns are still being felt in one of Australia’s most critical life-saving programs, the Sydney funnel-web spider antivenom program. The Park is currently facing some of the lowest number of funnel-web spiders it has ever seen, placing enormous pressure on the program that supplies venom essential for the production of antivenom used across the country. #spider #funnelwebspider #venom #antiveno

The Sydney funnel-web spider's venom is extremely deadly 🩸 Thankfully, for the past 40 years, no known deaths have occurred by funnel-web spider due to the development of an antivenom.
