Stay calm is the advice.

When confronted by an Eee Bee on your next trip to Ausville.

The snake that did the bloke in last week was reported to be a little 300 mm bastard...they are born deadly btw.

Don’t be fooled by its small fangs. One bite from this snake can kill you in less than 30 minutes

With venom that can induce death in less than half an hour, it's no surprise the eastern brown snake is responsible for the highest number of snake fatalities in Australia.

I heard that the young E B when it bites lets go of most of its venom as opposed to an adult regulating what it delivers?

I understand that this is indeed the case with most venomous snakes.

Then there is the HA problem. This is where the EB strikes you but doesn't envenomate you. Often strikes can be warning dry strikes but then the person doesn't know if its wet or dry so there is the possibility of the HA happening...HA = heart attack from worry lol.
I remember a Tiger snake striking my mates pants leg when we were well off rd and well up in a tributary of the Goulburn R. I said to him " **** me mate you would have been in serious schitt if the fangs had of got through your strides" as I weighed up how long it would have taken me to get out to a point of getting some sort of help. Pre cell ph days it was and there would be no signal in that spot any way.

I want to like Australia but there’s just too many beasties that can really cause you a mischief.

No offence but if you don't enjoy water sports then it seems a very dangerous crap place to live.
