Snakes are a part of life in Australia. The country is home to an amazing 140 species of land snakes and an additional 32 recorded types of sea snakes. A large portion of these slithering reptiles are venomous, totaling 100 poisonous snakes in the country. Thankfully, only about twelve of these species actually have venom strong enough to kill you, but that being said, twelve poisonous snakes presents a lot of different types to recall in any given moment of emergency. Perhaps this is why a handful of Australians who have encountered venomous snakes in recent years have not handled them properly, with fatal consequences. According to the University of Melbourne, 35 people were recorded by the National Coronial Information Service (NCIS) to have died from snake bites in Australia between 2000 and 2016, and seven of these did so because they tried to pick up the poisonous snake they encountered. These victims were then bitten on the extremities, and died as a result from various complications. By learning the trends and patterns related to snake bites in this country, you may help yourself avoid becoming a victim.
