Old Man Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 2 hours ago, Pariah said: ...but probably not for very long. Three days! Quote Etiology All funnel-web spider bites should be treated as potentially life-threatening, even though only approximately 10% to 15% of bites are venomous. Since the venom from the funnel-web spider bite is highly toxic, all species should be considered potentially dangerous.[3] In all the fatalities where the gender of the spider was confirmed, the male funnel-web spider was responsible. Males are more active at night and have been known to enter homes. The onset of severe envenomation is rapid. In one study, the median time to onset of envenoming was 28 minutes, and only 2 cases had onset after 2 hours. In both cases, the bites had pressure immobilization bandages applied. Death may occur in 15 minutes (small children) to 3 days. And it'll hurt the whole time you're dying! Quote History and Physical Early symptoms of a funnel-web spider envenomation include facial paresthesias, nausea, vomiting, profuse diaphoresis, drooling, and shortness of breath. Patients may become agitated, confused and ultimately comatose. This is associated with hypertension, metabolic acidosis, dilated pupils, muscle twitching and pulmonary and cerebral edema. Death results from pulmonary edema or progression to hypotension and circulatory collapse.[7] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 John Pilger: Campaigning Australian Journalist dies aged 84. His work on Cambodia particularly was well known. He was to me high profile in the 1970s and 1980s when I was growing up. His death slipped through the net or at least mine at the end of the year https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-67853392 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Nightingale dies aged 83. This won't mean much to most of the board but to British listeners of a certain age, it will. I actually met her once at an event. She was part of my teen years as she did a request show on Sunday night and she played all sorts of weird stuff that was brilliant like 'Fishheads' by Barnes and Barnes and 'Is That All There Is ?' by Cristina. The latter was a darker take on Peggy Lee's version and was banned for years. But she also played The Pixies and all sorts of other records.

DShomshak Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Speaking of ring-shaped structures in space, yesterday's NPR science roundup included a story about Odd Radio Circles (ORCs) found around a few galaxies. There may be an explanation. (Topic begins about 6 minutes into story.) Hint: It involves GREAT BIG EXPLOSIONS. https://www.npr.org/2024/01/12/1198909135/radio-circles-coming-from-the-centers-of-galaxies?ft=nprml&f=1007 dEAN sHOMSHAK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
