Title: Snake 1, Darwin 0 Post by: twoiron on June 12, 2008, 04:17:49 PM Pet death adder bites owner
June 13, 2008 - 8:01AM A man is recovering in a Melbourne hospital tonight after he was bitten by a pet death adder. The snake breeder, 29, suffered the potentially lethal bite on his hand at his home in Benwerrin Drive at East Burwood about 8pm, said Metropolitan Ambulance Service spokesman James Howe. "He began feeling disoriented and was short of breath," Mr Howe said. "Paramedics found him in an altered consciousness state and he collapsed shortly after they arrived. "The intensive care paramedics administered drugs and fluids to stabilise him and he was taken to the Monash Medical Centre. "He was in a critical condition, but staff at the hospital administered some anti-venom and he began stabilising quickly."

Seriously! WTF is wrong with people. Same as the ones that start an eventual trip to the E.R. with that fateful phrase Hey, watch this! Title: Re: Snake 1, Darwin 0 Post by: twoiron on June 12, 2008, 04:51:13 PM Coincidently it's the second "Snake Bites Man" story from Melbourne this week.
