Ep186 Australian Snake bites: Recognition

Not every snake bite is painful, and not every bite leaves obvious fang marks. Some patients may feel unwell, collapse, or even appear to recover before more serious symptoms develop. Recognising the early signs of envenomation can make a significant difference in patient outcomes.

In this episode, you’ll learn which signs and symptoms may suggest a venomous Australian snake bite, why visible bite marks can be misleading, and what clues first aiders should look for when assessing a patient. You’ll also discover why a seemingly minor bite should never be ignored.
