"Rare complications include myocarditis, rhabdomyolysis, and death"
- I love this line about the symptoms of a red back bite from the E-medicine latrodectism link posted by Jordan. Not sure what myocarditis or rhabdomyolysis are, but death sounds like a "rare complication" indeed.
Incidentally, while I have spent much of my life in rural Australia where redbacks abound, I have never known anyone to be bitten.
