Australia has some of the most venomous snakes in the world.
It would be irresponsible not to mention here a well known treatment for snake bite.
If you are bitten by a snake.
# this article is to be used as a guide, it may help to save someone’s life. It is written assuming that very few people carry a snake bite kit around with them, and gives advice on using things you will have on you and how to use them.
Always seek medical advice as soon as possible when bitten Always have your mobile phone with you
1. You sit down on the ground, but do not lie down.
2. You rip up your shirt into strips or lengths. You will not have bandages with you and you must not walk or move around too
much. No one will care that you ripped up your shirt, but they will care if you do not and you either get very ill or die.
3. Bandage over the bite away down the limb and then you bandage back up past the bite and back down the limb as far as
you can. Bandage the whole arm or leg as much as you can. Do not bandage too tightly though.
4. On the bandage were the snake bite is = put a mark. Even if you have to spit on the ground to make mud, then make a mark.
That will tell Ambulance Officers or Hospital Staff where to look.
Never wash the bite area. If you do not know what the snake is, they can identify it by the venom on the bite.
Keep that bandage on, even in Hospital do not let anyone undo that bandage off your limb until the snake type has been identified and you have been given the right treatment, and you are responding to the treatment.
In the case of a Black snake bite, unless you have a bad reaction you can sit out the Black snake bite until help finds you, or time passes. Keep that in your head. It will not kill you unless you have a reaction.
You must stay calm and you must bandage it properly.
You must still be checked out at a local Hospital, even if you do sit it out. This is not an option, you must be checked out.
# Regards keeping that bandage on = there was a case in Lismore NSW were a nurse took off the bandage and because it was a Brown snake bite, the lady ended up dying from the venom racing through her system before treatment was given.
A Brown snake is different. You have to get help. Call out for help. Once they bite you must act quickly and yet, you still need to remain calm. You need the Ambulance as you will die without help. Even the Highway Patrol will help get you to Hospital if needs be, so do not be afraid to ask the Police for help as well. They can always get you to the Ambulance or Hospital quicker and safer than a relative can. (most relatives tend to panic when someone they love has been bitten by a snake)
