Snake bite deaths might be rare, but would you know what to do if bitten?

When Cassy Richardson fumbled a bit of rubbish near her bin last Easter, she didn't think a whole lot of it. "I'm just glad that I had the knowledge there because a lot of people don't know what to do, or they don't think it's going to happen to them," she said. "People also think they can pick up a snake and move it themselves … we are seeing that due to the exposure of snake catchers on social media." What to do It may seem impossible after the shock of a snake bite, but staying as calm as practicable makes a huge difference to recovery rates, according to St John's Victoria first aid trainer Katie Pai. "I'm a big advocate for each household to have a first aid kit with a compression bandage in it," she said.
