Wide shot Mavis Tanner\u003cbr/\u003eA 94 year old woman's been reliving the moment her life was put in danger after being bitten by a deadly funnel-web spider.\u003cbr/\u003eShe was saved thanks to Australia's Venom-Milking Program.\u003cbr/\u003eAt 94, Mavis Tanner is the oldest-known Australian to survive a funnel-web spider bite.\u003cbr/\u003eThe great-grandmother was putting on her slippers at a nursing home near Sydney in February when she was bitten not once, but twice. \u003cbr/\u003eFortunately, the spider was sent to the Australian Reptile Park for identification and Tanner able to receive a a course of anti-venom. \u003cbr/\u003eThe spider that bit her turned out to be a male funnel-web, whose venom is five times more poisonous than the females when injected. \u003cbr/\u003eFunnel-webs are one of the three most venomous spiders in the world, and Tanner says her survival is so remarkable that she may even make it into the Guinness book of World Records. \u003cbr/\u003eDr Naren Gunja, Deputy Director of Australian Poisons Information Centre says anyone who gets envenomed after being bitten by a funnel web is very lucky to survive, but to survive an assault from the spider at the age of 94 is extraordinarily lucky because it is harder to withstand the poison when you get older. \u003cbr/\u003eIt is thanks to Australia's Venom-Milking Program that Tanner survived and there hasn't been a death from a spider's bite since 1982. \u003cbr/\u003eFor more than fifty years, the staff at the Australian Reptile Park have milked hundreds of venomous spiders and snakes so that scientists can create life-saving medicines. \u003cbr/\u003eTo produce a dose of anti-venom the spiders and snakes must be milked hundreds of times, the final serum is freeze-dried and sent to a laboratory. Craig Adams the venom expert at the Australian Reptile Park says being bitten by a funnel web is like a neurological storm which starts with the patient's tongue twitching involuntarily and then their whole body starts to convulse. \u003cbr/\u003eAdams says this is followed by excessive salivation and intense sweating and the victim's blood pressure goes on a roller coaster ride, becoming extremely fast and then slow. \u003cbr/\u003eHe says it's extremely painful, not just because of the length of these vicious fangs, but because the acidity of the venom intensifies the pain of the bite. \u003cbr/\u003eAs well as its killer spiders, Australia is home to the six of the world's most deadly snakes and produces anti-venom for itself and several countries in the region. \u003cbr/\u003eDemand is highest for anti-venom to combat the brown and the tiger snakes. Tiger snakes used to cause the most deaths, because, says Adams, they have a large amount  of venom. \u003cbr/\u003eIt's toxicity is measured by testing what is produced from an average bite on mice.\u003cbr/\u003eThis Tiger snake is capable of killing more than two-hundred thousand mice, but but they like to eat frogs whose numbers are diminishing through disease, newly introduced predators and the clearance of their traditional habitat. \u003cbr/\u003eThat means the number of Tiger snakes too, has declined dramatically whereas Brown snakes are thriving because they devour mice which are plentiful. \u003cbr/\u003eLast year there were three and a half thousand reported cases of spider and snake bites in Australia. \u003cbr/\u003eThis unit alone managed to save three hundred lives - including Mavis Tanner.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more
