DIAGNOSIS and treatment of tiger snake bites needs to be more accurate, researchers say.

There is much more to it than this story shows, for example according to Dr. Fry brown snake and tiger snake anti venoms re produced concurrently, with the label being added as needed, so in Victoria t least you often get a bivalent anti venom. Also remember that the test is to show the most effective nit venom not species and there is a great deal of human error involved with the application and assessment of these tests. It's also much better to receive too much anti venom rather than not enough (another statement from Dr.Fry)

I'm sure that the newspaper story is not a factual presentation of the information given to it.
 
If you speak with Bryan Fry and David Williams you will find out the study conducted actually showed a 93.75% success rate....I think I will trust SVDK'S still!
