Horses killed more people in Australia in recent years than all venomous
animals combined, research has shown.

The University of Melbourne's Dr Ronelle Welton examined hospital admissions
data and coronial records.

>From 2000 to 2013, horses were responsible for 74 deaths.

Bees and other stinging insects were the next most dangerous, causing 27
deaths, followed by snakes, which also claimed 27 lives but landed fewer
people in hospital.

Spiders were not responsible for any deaths during that time, the research
showed.
