[QUOTE="Simmo, post: 366152, member: 4105"] Mate I was unaware at the time as the kid just bolted out of the bush screaming he'd been bitten. I asked him if he knew by what and he didn't see the snake so I simply acted as if it was a worse case scenario. (bloody lucky as it turned out!) Anyway we were at a 50th b'day party out bush, and NO ONE apart from us had a snake bite bandage. The ambo's took him away to the local bush hospital. In the morning I asked the party host, 'how did the boy and his pop go?' Ol'mate says 'Didnt ya hear the chopper last night? They flew him to Cairns 'coz the venom tested as Tiapan.......' 'His pop wants to buy you a beer..!' Apparently there's some sort of scale of 'invenomation' and the boy had a fairly low count, but still because of the i.d. had to go to a major hospital. He's fine now. [/QUOTE]
