Venom is a toxic (sometimes deadly) substance produced by some animals, and this week Amber and Jen parley on some of the world’s most venomous creatures. Now, if you look at the stats, venomous creatures kill less humans a year than non-venomous creatures, but who wants to learn about a mosquito when you can learn about an animal with enough venom to kill 100 grown men?
To start Anti-vaxxers (anti-vaccine people) must be some of the dumbest people on the planet. Their failure to use basic logic is akin to punching yourself in the face and then wondering why your face hurts. Jen and Amber can’t even, so let’s talk about venomous creatures!
Amber starts the episode with the Black Mamba, a not-actually-black snake, that have heads’ the shape of coffins, because if you’re bitten by one, you’re likely to end up in a coffin.
Jennifer discusses the Inland Taipan, the venom of which is by far the most toxic of any snake
Both sisters talk Box Jellyfish. Amber talks Irukandji jellyfish, a tiny, but deadly, jellyfish. Jen talks the Sea Wasp, a jellyfish with tentacles up to 3 m (10 ft) long covered in darts with extremely powerful venom. The ocean is terrifying.
Then keeping with the Australia theme, we do the Sydney funnel-web spider, whose poison can kill you, and guess what, they like to bite over and over. Sometime, they even hide in your shoes!
