Spider and Scorpion Venom

Question -  hi!
I am a student from Curtin University of Technology in Western Australia.
I am doing a research and presentation of human biology. I want to know 
the toxic effects and appropriate first aid measures for spiders and scorpions.
It would be all right to give examples for each spider and scorpion.
I really appreciate ur kindness.

The best thing to do with this question is to examine this site:

http://www.thesnake.org/bites.html

It deals with all kinds of venom and treatments.
