| Subject: Statist idiots in science: After 60 years in use, redback anti-venom found not to work: new research Tue Nov 19, 2013 11:30 pm | |
| New research from the Hunter shows the anti-venom for redback spiders used for decades doesn't actually work.
It is not the news many arachnophobes would want to hear.
Treatment for the notably painful redback spider bite does not work, according to new research from clinical toxicologist at Newcastle's Calvary Mater Hospital Geoff Isbister.
"That's right," he said.
"If it works, it only has a very small effect and there's risks with using anti-venom and our assessment really is that the limited benefit or potentially no benefit of anti-venom isn't worth the risks of using a treatment.
"All anti-venoms have a risk of causing anaphylaxis or allergic reactions and although that's rare in redback anti-venom, it occurs in about four to five percent of cases and it occurred in four percent of patients in this study who were given redback anti-venom."
