I always am blown away from the quality of these videos. Its almost pure professionalism with the recording and everything. Great wildlife documentary type content, and im always excited to see another of your videos. Keep going man!
I was bitten four times at once by a Black Widow. Symptoms are similar to a heart attack. I had trouble breathing, chest pain, nausea, sweating. When I made it to the Emergency Room I had a fever well over 105°. Every muscle in my body was screaming in agony, my tummy was in severe pain. I was given vial after vial of antivenom. I spent months in the hospital due to being paralyzed. I couldn't even breathe on my own. After months of intense therapy very slowly the feeling started returning. I still have issues with side effects. When I have a fever my legs suffer excruciating pain. And convulsions.
That's pretty hectic what you say that happend to you. I did extremally lot of work with spiders with publications included and never heared, nor seen such a case. In the first place, most people(75%) bitten by L. mactans and other highly venomous Latrodectus species (most of them are actually not that harmful) do not get the sympthoms you mention, called latrodectism, so the bite with envenomation ended up with local pain, however, if you will suffer from latrodectism and get an antivenom, all cases I studied and I studied pretty much everything documented, do not ever go above 10 days. When it comes to not getting antivenom treatment, this can either end up with dying(still extremally rare) or with latrodectism elongeted up to weeks, but not months. Your case is super extraordinary. Any chance thst you got some medical documentation of it?
@@poower7 yes that's true, I had severe complications as well. The fact antivenom had to be flown in did not help. I was bitten on the upper chest while cleaning up Tornado Debris. I thought I had been stung at first. But it didn't take long to realize something much worse had happened. Trouble breathing, intense chest pain, sweating, nausea, by the time I got to the hospital a fever over 105. Doctors trying to figure out what happened. Blood work was done a toxicologist consulted and finally told it was a Black widow. 4 bites. So then antivenom had to be flown in. A serious infection requiring surgery drain tube and eventually skin grafts. But it was being paralyzed and life support that was so traumatic.
When we rented a place in St Ives, Northern Sydney, a few years ago we started seeing Sydney Funnel Webs frequently. Called a Spiderman and sent him through the pics of what we found in the kitchen etc. His response was honest and blunt, he said "mate I could take a couple hundred $ from you and spray outside etc, but no point, they will come back. Just don't put your hand in a dark hole or put shoes on you've left outside without checking first. Also they are great at controlling pests and no-one has died from them since 1996." Thanks sir now i have OCD checking everything lol.
You should be thanking him it’s likely in another country they woulda come took your money and not told you they would comeback and therefore you wouldn’t be checking shoes ect
Miller, your latest video is an absolute thrill ride through the wilds of Australia! Your daring quest to uncover the secrets of the world's most venomous spiders, the Funnel-Web and RedBack, left me on the edge of my seat the entire time! Your keen eye for adventure and exploration is unmatched, and your ability to capture the essence of each encounter is truly captivating. And stumbling upon a Freshwater Stonefish? Simply genius! Your videos are a beacon of excitement and discovery, and I eagerly anticipate each new adventure you share with us. Keep shining bright, Miller! ✨🕷️
One of the things I love about this channel is variety. It would be easy to focus on the bigger, more extreme animals, like sharks and crocs. Miller is fascinated by all aspects of life and this often creates situations where he's up close and really personal with a lot of different species. He is showing and teaching us about animals we typically wouldn't know much about, large and small, and all for our viewing pleasure. Great channel.
as I reflect on your incredible journey on RUclips, it's truly remarkable to see how far you've come since those early days. Your dedication to exploration and adventure has not only entertained but also inspired countless viewers, including myself. I vividly remember watching your videos since middle school, and now, as I'm on the cusp of entering college, I'm in awe of the growth and maturity you've displayed over the years. Your passion for wildlife and your fearless pursuit of the extraordinary has left a lasting impression on me, and I find myself living vicariously through your adventures. Your milestone of hitting 1 million subscribers four years ago is a testament to the impact you've had on so many lives. It's hard to believe how quickly time has flown by, but I'm incredibly proud to have been a part of your journey for almost half a decade. Here's to many more years of excitement, discovery, and inspiration! 🎉
Hey Miller buddy it's me Vinny Nancy Stephanie are watching this episode I can't get over the red back spider and the funnel web saltwater stonefish is the one Nancy likes and the blue ringed octopus man must put your whole body until like electric shock really enjoyed this episode was really good you did wonderful to scenery as well Miller buddy 👍 💪 💪 💯
No way, i just watched your white shark video in south Australia (it was amazing), and 6 minutes later this pops up, this made my day. You are so awesome Miller, have a awesome week!
Hey Miller I said before I love your videos I like how even with 1.5 million subscribers you take the time to like and comment on almost all the comments you get from people and the love you have for animals is amazing just stay safe brother these are dangerous animals.
I can't believe RUclips is only just now recommending this channel to me. Firstly, it's nature, which is a massive passion of mine. Secondly, it's Aussie, which I am. Thirdly, this channel is my kind of vibe. Bloody good video mate, definitely gonna check out more from you!
Are the red backs a type of Widow spider like we have in North America? I was bitten by a black widow a couple years ago and nearly lost my leg and almost died from it.
Another thriller from Miller! Who would've thought learning could be so fun? This latest video is filled with new and fascinating information AND scenery. And yes that freshwater stonefish sure isn't as mellow as the saltwater stonefish you've shown us previously. I had no idea ANY spiders shed their skin. Always learning something new thanks to you, Miller 🙏🏼
I really like that waterfall Miller seemed very peaceful over there betta has really good fish in it what seems cool is probably to go swimming in it especially on a hot day so cool Miller 😊😊😊
Once again, absolutely astounding adventure (AAA)!!! Been waiting for your newest video to drop. I like what you said about it being easy to live among all these dangerous creatures. I think the.only way to do that is have what you share with us…total respect for the animals. In the U.S. we have some pretty venomous animals too. Their everywhere and just as deadly. Their called politicians. lol. Anyway, thanks again Miller for the AAA!!!
Miller, been a while since we've seen you, mate for the past month, we actually rescued a 12 ft Burmese Python in my pool! It was crazy, we couldn't just let the poor thing suffer so we released it back into the wild, but we are thankful we could help this amazing animal, so nice to see you on your next adventure love you mate!!
I always get creeped out about Spiders. But I love to see them. I went to Australia years ago with my husband. We first spent a few days in Sydney then we went to Cape Tribulation for about 4 Gladys I believe. Then we went to Cairns. We went out on a catamaran to Michales Cay. I sat there in the sand while my husband snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef. I had bird poo all over me. We left my wheelchair on the boat. Then we went on a submarine. It was tricky for us getting in it but we did. Was really good cool! Anyways did lots more things. But I was never scared of spiders or snakes. I held a baby snake that was handed to me to hold. At Cape Tribulation in the building where we had dinner. You look up at the ceiling there were huge spider balls everywhere. I loved seeing everything. At one place a fox bat climbed on me. It was a kind of a zoo in Cairns. He was really cute. I had forgotten how big the funnel spider is. Really cool to look at. Look forward to your next video. 😊😊😊
This was a nice video. I am glad you got to change the kind of animals you get to inform us on. Spiders is a nice change. This was very informative. Thanks Buddy. 👍
Miller, I am always impressed with your videos, they are done so well and your explanations for what you do is very easy to follow, you handle species that most people would not even get close to. Please be very careful out there your content is needed for future generations to learn from. Stay Australian strong.
Miller buddy it's me Vinny like this episode very much thought it was cool can't get over how venomous they are and I really like the waterfalls must be really good water to drink😊😊
Hey Miller it's me Vinny love this episode with the red back spiders they are so cool looking I like the saltwater stonefish also cool how they look like a football and the blue ringed octopus 🐙 really like the scenery in this episode Nancy and my wife also like this episode good job like always😊😊🎉😊
Bro ur an actual menace I love how u find the most deadly spider and your first thought is let me lay down next to this guy for the best possible shot gotta respect the dedication
Thank you finally someone who can actually make this interesting and the awareness you’re bringing is amazing thank you 🙏 we need more of this in the world 🌎..
Great documentary young man, you have presented your video well. My only point that I disagree is stepping on a stone fish it's my understanding that You have a good chance of dying if you don't get antivenom in time. You made it like a mild bee sting. However this is a great show and filmed it in a gorgeous setting. Wish I was there with fishing equipment..
It's amazing here in Florida we have mullet as well I love to eat them they're actually real good when they're fresh Nancy my wife really liked this episode😊😊😊😊
Yeh, he's the goat. True with nature that way. I watch field days and another Australian survival dude. Who spears fish and stuff 🤔 these guys are so entertaining !
@gettimabodybag6213 I did some back tracking the one guy I forgot was "survival beast" he doesn't post much anymore. But that was a good one. Oh and I forgot to mention "wade papanefus" love watching these guys
@@jarrettptheog7949 I watch survival beast too mate. If you love that kinda thing, then please let me direct you to other great Aussie survival channels. Look up YBS Youngbloods trust me mate, you won't be disappointed.
You know, you are a very loving soul and the animals sense that. Maybe the spider sensed that the tripod represents a bit of the destruction of humanity because industry has destroyed so much through human greed. I loved seeing the spider's behavior :) Thanks for sharing!
Hey Miller this episode was so cool me Nancy my wife are watching this one freshwater stonefish they are so cool looking wow these spiders are something😊😊
That creek system is gorgeous! Forget the spiders, just hike up it - away from humanity, bring a book, a notepad and pencil, something healthy to snack on and just sit beside it all day and watch how the light and shadows change as the sun arcs across the sky. That would be a very good day.
When I was 7, I was playing in the waters edge at Lake Macquarie with my Aunt. I felt something on my leg and told her as I was immediately concerned. She dismissed it as seaweed. Seconds later, she playfully threw me over her body into the water….and when she did, the “seaweed” landed right onto her back/shoulder. After 20minutes she was rushed to hospital in an ambulance and it was told to me that a Blue Ringed Octopus had stung her. She luckily survived and was featured in the news. Not to say I’m glad it bit her, but at my age and tiny size…..who knows. Funnily enough, I was talking to a curator at the Brisbane Science Museum and she (quite assuredly) informed me that Blue Rings do not inhabit that area. I politely and assuredly told her otherwise……❤
Hey Miller me Nancy my wife really enjoyed this episode the scenery was so good we really like the shark one with the ocean that was so cool it must have been a blast😊😊😊
It's a bit of an argument about which spider is the deadliest. Some say it's the Funnel-Web, as others say it's the Brazilian Wandering Spider. Some scientists even say it's the Six-Eyed Sand Spider.
That waterfall must be real nice to go swimming in inside that water must be nice and cool so amazing the red back spiders are so amazing looking for sure though you do not want to get bitten by that spider 🕷️😊
"But every time I see a turtle, there is no way I'm not going to film it." You just described a bunch of videos I have! I don't know what it is, they are just cool- be they freshwater or saltwater, I love seeing them.
I have Redbacks and white tail spiders at my place but the Sydney funnel web is frightening the way they Just go in protect mode fangs out my friend lives in Sydney and she was telling me that they were good steel Cap boots everywhere they go and theye tuck all their clothing in at night when going to bed so if a funnel web spider goes in their bed its harder to crawl under their pants wow and they also put their shoes in a big bag and zip it up at night so the spiders dont go inside their shoes
Crazy croc encounter! I’ve heard some wild stories and deaths that ppl have had. Especially black water and the one lady that died swimming by a waterfall!
That spider 🕷️ was like hey bro we were vibing 😂 don’t leave now wtf .!! 😂 that was a beautiful spider damn I wish I lived in a place like that Florida is the closest I have gotten to that type of wildlife.. thank you
I was told by my first aid instructor about a year ago that if we were bitten by a red back, to not bother calling an ambulance because there's relatively little harm it can do to you; just a small red bump and a bit of pain apparently. I'm curious if others have encountered the same advice?
Nice video! In terms of venom, there are actually 2 other species of Funnelweb (both tree dwelling) that are potentially more medically significant than Atrax robustus (Sydney Funnelweb). The largest is the Northern Tree Funnelweb (Hadronyche formidabilis) which can grow to twice the size of the Sydney Funnelweb and is found not far outside of Brisbane so would have saved you a longer trip :)
Hey I’m not sure what your occupation is but I’m currently in school to become a wildlife biologist and I’m happy to admit every video u post just inspires me keep up the good work you’re doing an amazing job
Dang! You sent me down a rabbit hole looking up information on RedBacks and their cousins that we have, the Black Widow. One time, one of my students flipped over a rock on our playground field and found a black widow. I was shocked to see it out there so we observed it for a few moments and covered it back up and stayed away!
Box Jellyfish next on the list ?!
hell yea
Miller can you do a video looking look animals in the sunny coast river
Great Idea!👍👍👍👍😍
thats a cool and unique spider ever a blue and red fanged spider
Either them or the Irukandji jellyfish but also the Cone snails.
I always am blown away from the quality of these videos. Its almost pure professionalism with the recording and everything. Great wildlife documentary type content, and im always excited to see another of your videos. Keep going man!
Wow, thank you! so cool to hear cheers Miller
Remember the Discovery Channel? It's crazy how modern day RUclipsrs can surpass that quality.

The freshwater stonefish you guys got looks a lot like our scorpion fish here in Florida they're a little red though and very venomous😊😊
Hey Miller! I thought the Brazilian Wandering Spider was more venomous than the Sydney funnel web?
yes I think the jury is out depending on what study you read and what the criteria is for determination - I vote Sydney Funnel Web !
I have never seen that 'freshwater stonefish' before, amazing!
It looks like some sort of wrasse.
Whats the arrow tattoo on millers wedding finger mean ?

It's a bit of an argument about which spider is the deadliest. Some say it's the Funnel-Web, as others say it's the Brazilian Wandering Spider. Some scientists even say it's the Six-Eyed Sand Spider.
Yes it is complex in how it is decided - very similar to snakes and the differing top 10 - and what you read and where....
Hey mate, where were these forests and creeks. Looks like a good hike for sure. Blue mountain area?
Where was the first place you went to? I feel like I’ve been there before

I have Redbacks and white tail spiders at my place but the Sydney funnel web is frightening the way they Just go in protect mode fangs out my friend lives in Sydney and she was telling me that they were good steel Cap boots everywhere they go and theye tuck all their clothing in at night when going to bed so if a funnel web spider goes in their bed its harder to crawl under their pants wow and they also put their shoes in a big bag and zip it up at night so the spiders dont go inside their shoes
Awesome video Miller enjoyed it, learned a lot too
Awesome video bro love learning about these animals as always!
Crazy croc encounter! I’ve heard some wild stories and deaths that ppl have had. Especially black water and the one lady that died swimming by a waterfall!
I wouldn't have thought the creek water was good to drink? Or am I wrong?
This was a wicked cool video.
nice video man keep up the good work
I can't get over how big the spiders get they look like a lot like a Black widow WOW I couldn't get over how I was ready to attack😊😊
yes they are war spiders for sure haha
@@MillerWilson so cool Miller
Great video. In all my years did not know about there poisonous fresh water fish
Australia is the literal meaning of "fuck around and find out!"
Love your videos bud, love from America. These videos help me escape the reality of my terrible country(at least right now it's terrible)😂😂
Cool bro good job 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks 😁
@@MillerWilson cool bro
That spider 🕷️ was like hey bro we were vibing 😂 don’t leave now wtf .!! 😂 that was a beautiful spider damn I wish I lived in a place like that Florida is the closest I have gotten to that type of wildlife.. thank you
Great videos keep up the great work.
I was told by my first aid instructor about a year ago that if we were bitten by a red back, to not bother calling an ambulance because there's relatively little harm it can do to you; just a small red bump and a bit of pain apparently. I'm curious if others have encountered the same advice?
Nice video! In terms of venom, there are actually 2 other species of Funnelweb (both tree dwelling) that are potentially more medically significant than Atrax robustus (Sydney Funnelweb). The largest is the Northern Tree Funnelweb (Hadronyche formidabilis) which can grow to twice the size of the Sydney Funnelweb and is found not far outside of Brisbane so would have saved you a longer trip :)
Hey I’m not sure what your occupation is but I’m currently in school to become a wildlife biologist and I’m happy to admit every video u post just inspires me keep up the good work you’re doing an amazing job
Dang! You sent me down a rabbit hole looking up information on RedBacks and their cousins that we have, the Black Widow. One time, one of my students flipped over a rock on our playground field and found a black widow. I was shocked to see it out there so we observed it for a few moments and covered it back up and stayed away!
Is that a bull rout ?
yes one of them was and the other a stone fish
Be safe and appreciate your efforts 👍
thanks so much for the support cheers Miller
