Hospital staff came face-to-face with one of the world's most deadly snakes after a patient brought it to the emergency department in a snap-lock lunch container.
It sounds like it hasn’t been a big enough problem yet, but they just want to head it off. And it may have been more helpful in the past. I don’t know how long the antivenom test has been faster and more accurate than physically identifying the snake. Either way, bringing the snake now is overall a much worse idea than it probably used to be.
Huh you would think in Australia I would know this.
Some of the snakes here kill us in 15 to 20 minutes
