 Australians are tough bastards. 
My great uncle survived war, being struck by lightning, blown up by a gas heater, bitten by Tiger Snakes multiple times, two boat sinkings, bitten by a Redback Spider, to name a few.
My brother has survived being bitten by a Tiger Snake, stung by a Stingray, electrocuted, several car crashes.

I'm not helping, am I? 😂 
 Some people just attract disaster, eh? 😂 
 My uncle was stung by a stingray and not bitten by a spider but stomped on one barefoot and its juices got into a cut and seriously messed up his foot. He got yearly pains from the stingray somehow, don’t know how that worked. Also sank a boat, rolled his car, and burned down his shed making sinkers 😂 
 Yeah my brother said the stingray was the most painful thing he'd ever experienced, messed him up.
