The venom is used to create life-saving anti-venom for human bites. Funnel-web spiders are dangerous, especially when males wander in search of mates and end up in human spaces. The venom acts quickly and is deadly, but with proper medical intervention, no deaths have occurred since 1981. The video also explains the process of milking the venom and producing anti-venom using rabbits, highlighting the importance of this life-saving work.\n
