Here are seven reasons why. 1. Our snakes bolt away from us 2. We have very few snakebite deaths 3. If you do get bitten, you're very unlikely to lose a limb 4. We have great access to excellent antivenom and other treatments 5. We have the world's only snake venom detection kits 6. Snakebites are covered by Medicare 7. Snake venom is actually saving lives The article concludes thus....... Rather than fearing our venomous snakes, let's try seeing them as they are. They pose little risk to us. They flee from us. Their bites can usually be cured quickly. Their venom holds therapeutic promise. And they play a vital role in keeping down the numbers of introduced rats and mice. So let's take a moment to appreciate Australia's wealth of beautiful snakes.
