Every drop of venom counts 🐍💉

The Australian Reptile Park has been milking snakes since the 1950s, the only source of terrestrial snake venom in Australia for anti-venom production.

Over 25,000 lives have been saved in that time and who knows? Yours could be next.
There’s more than 200 snakes at the Weigel Venom Centre, and they are milked fortnightly to help save around 300 Aussies every year.

Did you get it right? 🪼

The treatment for a general jellyfish sting is:

1. Carefully remove tentacles using tweezers or a gloved hand.
2. Apply hot water if available (as hot as the victim can handle).
3. If hot water is unavailable or does not lessen discomfort, apply an ice pack.
4. Monitor vital symptoms.

* Excludes treatment for Irukandji and Box Jellyfish stings.

I just had a quick look at the reviews on this kit and the worst one was a lonely 3 star review from Mark asking for it to be brought out in red. Mark, you and everyone else who requested a red one will be happy to know they now come in red! 💃
