person tagged 7 times by brown

[Just_Joshin]

That would be scary, bleeding from your eyes and ears :shock:

The joys of haemotoxic venom. As Haemolysis begins to occur you start bleeding from all your mucous membranes. Her gums prolly started bleeding to..........God i love snake venoms, they are such intricate assasins with the combination of effects they can cause.

makes alot of sense then jonno, because dont king browns pump in alot of venom.... so getting bitten 7 times would be a hell of alot of venom running through her system

Just because it bit her 7 times doesnt mean she had 7 doses of venom mate, snakes dont have an endless supply of the stuff, I'm no expert on vens but i'm guessing once it used the amount it normally carries up in the first few bites the rest would probably have been dry ones, i think it takes the snake a little time (days) to re-fill the glands. (anyone care to clarify?)
I dont see how climate change can make snakes more aggressive, which it sounds as though that guy is suggesting:|
Poor woman, looks like shes going to be ok though.

Did anyone notice this story too ?

If you think an Eastern Brown is slow, you must be Steve Austin. If you're not, Then stop taking the Mushrooms.:shock:

Im not to sure what the vicious native ant was but i know the bull ants in tassy have killed ppl and most of them are completely nuts and pack a decent punch.

You see that on TV recently cris? lol

 

[Moreliaman]

Oh yeah....Duh...and his names Austin Stevens anyway...........that was just too funny to watch....nearly.

I saw a doco on the bull ants in tassy and they have killed ppl, possibly allergic reactions, but they are much more toxic than most other types. As for them being comletely nuts i have found that out first hand, the little critters charge and jump at anything they think may be a threat and give a really nasty sting with their tail. I havnt tried getting stung but apparently it feels like getting hit by a hammer.

Also my comment about browns being slow was obviously sarcasm, i dont think i have ever seen another reptile move faster(obviously goannas can run much fast in a straght line etc.).

I was serious, i watched the same doco i think...
More Aussies die from ant sting than snake bite or something.

thats pretty cool - reminds me of this thing a while ago about some python in africa (i think) eating a baby hippo and then regurgetating it. (dont worry about sound - it's in a different language) [video=youtube;mhhhh1QiT-U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhhhh1QiT-U[/video]

When they are in their element, Eastern Browns can be surprisingly fast...but they are incredibly predictable.

I would almost guarantee that the species that bit her was an Eastern Brown, and it would have been lucky to bite her more than twice.

I'd agree, but the article mentions puncturing a vein, running back to the house hmmmmm, bitten seven times hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, seems very lucky to be alive. I wonder how much of it really is fact and how much is thrown in to get the newspapers sold.

eastern browns are highly fast moving snakes and probably the most dangerous to irritate they are unpredictableand i can truly understand how she got bit cause if it was a decent size brown after her first bite as she realised what happend truth be told she was still standing on it when it bit her again and again and as she was moving its strike range finished her with 7 bites nothing to do with stupidity just dam unlucky and lucky to be alive never tell anyone they are a slow species ......you want slow collect snails

so whos right then ? :?
this is another instance of conflicting information being given.

 

[mrmikk]

Normally brown snakes are regarded as the slowest species, mulga snakes are also notoriously slow :|

I would definitely not say a brown is slow. I have had quite a few interactions with wild browns and they are like lightning.

aye Aye Captain Obvious.

Do us a favour....play times over.. .....its time to run along and antagonize someone else.....theres a good boy

If she was to have received a true intravenous envenomation from a brown, there would be a death notice in the paper, not an article on a lady that had been bitten.

She would barely have made it up to the house.
