>>2577976Dude, Australians have to deal with: Jack Jumper ants which if you're allergic can kill you, Inland Taipans (the most venomous snake on earth), Funnel Web spiders (which can just happen to be in your shoe at home), Great White sharks, box and irukanji jelly fish (that you can barely see and can kill you) gympie gympie bushes (which just look like any other plant but merely brushing up against it can cause microscopic needles that imbed in your skin and inject toxin that can last for years), cone snails, saltwater crocodiles, red back spiders, black house spiders, mouse spiders, wolf spiders, etc... need I go on?
In NY, where I'm from, we have to worry about: Deer ticks (and only because they might cause Lyme disease if you don't notice them on you within 24-36 hours and it isnt fatal, it just sucks to have Lyme because you have it for life).
