What do you do if a brown snake bites you?

Keep calm, and follow these steps:

  1. Get the person away from the snake.
  2. Ensure they rest and help them to stay calm.
  3. Call triple zero (000) and ask for an ambulance.
  4. Apply a pressure immobilisation bandage (see below).
  5. Don’t wash the bite area — venom left on the skin can help identify the snake.

Limit the amount of time snake is off the ground. Use the tongs or snake hook to guide the snake into the bag or box you have prepared for the snake removal. If using a snake hook, never impale snake. Instead, hook the snake in the middle and drag, much like you do with the tongs.
