FAQs

What’s the first thing I should do if someone is bitten by a snake?


Call 000 immediately. Keep the person still and calm. Apply a pressure immobilisation bandage and immobilise the limb. Never wash, cut, or suck the bite.

How do the tension indicator bandages work?


They have printed rectangles that turn into squares when the bandage is tight enough. No guesswork. No second-guessing

Are snake bites a risk in winter?


Yes. Australian snakes don’t hibernate—they enter brumation. They’re slower, but still active, especially on warm days or when disturbed.

How long do I have to get help after a snake bite?


There’s no exact timeframe—it varies by snake and person. But the right first aid (like pressure immobilisation) buys you time until help arrives.

Can I use this snake bite kit for spider bites or other emergencies?


Absolutely. It’s also suitable for funnel-web spiders, blue-ringed octopus stings, sprains, fractures, and bleeding.
