How to save the most bloody animals in Australia the souls

With a pair of bright pink compresses on hand, Emma Tini struggles accurately on a large spider and legs in a small plastic bowl.

“He thinks,” the spider’s guard crawls while backing on his back legs. It is exactly what she is trying to achieve – in this way she can absorb the poison from her tusks with a small pipette.

Emma works from a small office known as the Aleppo Spider room. On a typical day, milking – or extracting poison from – 80 of these spiders repressive in Sydney.

On three of the four walls, there are shelves from the floor to the ceiling stacked filled with oxides, with a black curtain pulled to keep calm.

The remaining wall is actually a window. Through this, a small, fascinated and frightening child stare, as Mrs. Tini works. They do not know that the spider is the size of the palm trees that you deal with can kill them within a few minutes.

“It can be said that Sydney’s victory is the most deadly spider in the world,” says Emma.

Australia is full of such deadly animals – and this room in the Australian reptile garden plays an important role in a governmental antibiotic program, which saves lives on a continent where it is often joking that everything wants to kill you.

While the fastest registered death of the spider in Sydney, the young spider was in 13 minutes, the average is closer to 76 minutes – and gives you first aid a better chance to survive.

Very successful is the Antivenom program here in the Australian Reptile Garden that no one has been killed by one since it started in 1981.

However, the scheme depends on the members of the public either hunting spiders or collecting egg bags.

In a car filled with a giant crocodile poster, the MS Teni team drives every week throughout the most famous city in Australia, where the Sydney headquarters, which was delivered at dropping points such as local veterinary practices.

She explains that there are two reasons for these spiders very dangerous, as she explains: not only their poison is very strong, but they also live exclusively in a populated area where they are likely to face humans.

Handian Charlie Simpson is one of the like. He moved to his first home with his girlfriend a few months ago, and the generous gardener has already found two stirring devices in Sydney. He took the second spider to the veterinarian, where Mrs. Tini picked up shortly after.

“I had gloves at the time, but realistically, I should have leather gloves because the fangs are very large and strong,” says 26 -year -old.

“I (just thought) it was better to pick it up because I kept telling that you were aiming to return it to be milk, because it is very important.”

“This treats my fear of spiders,” he said jokingly.

While Mrs. Tini empties one of the Ankaci elements that she was handed over to her in the juice of Fejit, she confirms that her team does not tell the Australians to search for spiders and “throw themselves in danger.”

Instead, they ask that if a person comes across one, he will take him safely instead of killing him.

She says: “Saying that this is the most deadly spider in the world and then (the audience is asked to hold it and bring it to us, it seems that it is not intuitive.”

“(But) this spider is there now, thanks to Charlie, it will effectively save a person’s life.”

All spiders whose team collects are returned to the Australian Reptile Garden, where they are indexed, sorted by sex and stored.

It is any of the females that are dropped for an education program, which helps to complete the number of spiders that the audience donated.

Meanwhile, males, which range from six to seven times more than females, are used for anti -antibiotic program and milked every two weeks, as Emma explained.

The theater you use to remove the poison is linked to the ticks to the suction hose – necessary to collect as much poison as possible, because each spider provides only small amounts.

While a few drops are enough to kill, scientists need the milk of 200 of these spiders to get enough to fill one vial of antibiotics.

A marine biologist through training, she never expected that Emma will spend her days in Aleppo spiders. In fact, I started working with the seals.

But now she will not get it in any other way. Emma loves all the Angeles, and goes under different titles – the spider’s spider, Mama, even “eccentric”, as her daughter calls her.

Friends, family and neighbors rely on her to know the creeping crawling of Australia.

“Some girls reach the home to the flowers on their doorstep,” Emma’s slide. “For me, it is not customary to get home to a spider in a jar.”

Spiders represent only a small part of what the Australian reptile garden does. It also provides snake venom to the government since the fifties.

According to the World Health Organization, up to 140,000 people all over the world dies of snakes every year, and three times what many have left.

In Australia, these numbers are much lower: between one person and four people every year, thanks to a successful antibody program.

Removing the King Brown snake from the storage cabinet, Billy Colette, the park operations manager, brings it to the table in front of him.

With his bare hands, he inhibits his head and put his jaw on a divorce cup covered with a clinging film.

“They are not very connected to biting, but as soon as they go, you see him get out of the fangs,” says Mr. Colette, as the yellow poison is on the bottom.

“This is enough to kill us all in the room five times – maybe more.”

Then he moves to a more reassuring tone: “They are not looking for people to bite. We are very big for them to eat; they do not want to waste their poison on us. They just want to leave on their own.”

“To be bitten by a toxic snake, you should really bother her, and excite that,” he added, noting that the bites often occur when someone tries to kill a reptile.

There is a refrigerator in the corner of the room where raw poison is stored. It is full of bottles called “Death Adder”, “Taipan”, “Tiger Snake” and “Eastern Brown”.

The last of which is the second toxic snake in the world, and more likely to bite you here, in Australia.

This dried poison is dried and sent to CSL Seqirus, a laboratory in Melbourne, where it turns into an antidote in a process that can take up to 18 months.

The first step is to produce what is known as excessive immune plasma. In the case of snakes, doses that are controlled by poison are injected into horses, because they are larger animals with a strong immunity system.

The spiders that are heated in Sydney revolve around the rabbits, and they are immune to toxins. Animals are injected in increasing doses to build their antibodies. In some cases, this step may take nearly a year.

Plasma with super -charging of the animal is removed from the blood, then the antibodies are isolated from the plasma before they are filled, ready for management.

CSL Sequist makes 7000 vials annually – including anti -snake, spider, stone fish and saille square – it is valid for 36 months. The challenge, then, is to ensure that everyone who needs supplies.

“It is a tremendous task,” says Dr. Gul Pailes, who leads the CSL Sequus anti -development team.

“First of all, we want to see them in the main and distant rural areas where these creatures are likely to be.”

The bottles are distributed depending on the species in each region. Tayban, for example, in the northern parts of Australia, so there is no need to contradict them in Tasmania.

Antivenom is also granted to the Royal Flying Doctors, who reach some of the country’s most remote communities, as well as the Australian naval ships and gospels of sailors at risk of marine snake bites.

Papua New Guinea receives about 600 bottles per year. The country was once linked to Australia by a ground bridge, and many types of snake participated, and therefore the Australian government gives anti -diplomatic free diplomacy – snakes, if you like.

“Frankly, we may have the biggest impact on Papua New Guinea, more than Australia, due to the number of snake bites and deaths they have,” says Chris Larkin, CEO of CSL Seqirus. So far, they believe they saved 2000 life.

Returning to the garden, Mr. Colette slipped from the title “Noodles Danger” that is sometimes given to his colleagues in Serbinin – a classic Australian feature of making something that gives many visitors to nightmares.

Mr. Colette, though, is clear: These animals should not put people on the visit.

“Snakes don’t just wander around the streets attacking the British – they don’t work like this,” he said jokingly.

“If you are going to bite of the snake, Australia is the best place – we have the best antagonists. It’s free. The treatment is unrealistic.”
