25.01.2022 It's critical to know what to do in the event of a heat-related illness, especially heat stroke. Follow healthdirect's first aid guide. bit.ly/2I3QgUy

25.01.2022 Important Information on snake venom treatment, and your movements if bitten by a snake. DO NOT try to catch, kill or identify the snake. This is important. In ...hospital they no longer need to know the type of snake. Medical practitioners would do a test on the bite, blood or urine to identify the snake so the correct antivenin can be used. Specific antivenin is preferred to be administered if the ID of the snake is known. But now there is Polyvalent, the new antivenin that neutralises the venom's of all the 5 listed snake genus. Read that again- one injection for all snakes in Australia. Polyvalent is our one shot wonder, stocked in most hospitals. Hospitals still stock specific antivenins and again they are preferred to be administered if the snake ID is known. While not new, the management of snake bite (like a flood/fire evacuation plan or CPR) should be refreshed each season. Lets start with a basic overview. There are five genus of snakes that will harm us (seriously) Browns, Blacks, Adders, Tigers and Taipans. All snake venom is made up of huge proteins (like egg white). When bitten, a snake injects some venom into the meat of your limb (not into your blood). This venom can not be absorbed into the blood stream from the bite site. It travels in a fluid transport system in your body called the lymphatic system (not the blood stream). Now this fluid (lymph) is moved differently to blood. Your heart pumps blood around, so even when you are lying dead still, your blood still circulates around the body. Lymph fluid is different. It moves around with physical muscle movement like bending your arm, bending knees, wriggling fingers and toes, walking/exercise etc. Now here is the thing. Lymph fluid becomes blood after these lymph vessels converge to form one of two large vessels (lymphatic trunks)which are connected to veins at the base of the neck. Back to the snake bite site. When bitten, the venom has been injected into this lymph fluid (which makes up the bulk of the water in your tissues). The only way that the venom can get into your blood stream is to be moved from the bite site in the lymphatic vessels. The only way to do this is to physically move the limbs that were bitten. Stay still. Venom cant move if the victim doesnt move. Stay still. Remember people are not bitten into their blood stream. In the 1980s a technique called Pressure immobilisation bandaging was developed to further retard venom movement. It completely stops venom /lymph transport toward the blood stream. A firm roll bandage is applied directly over the bite site (dont wash the area). Technique: Three steps: keep them still Step 1 Apply a bandage over the bite site, to an area about 10cm above and below the bite. Step 2: Then using another elastic roller bandage, apply a firm wrap from Fingers/toes all the way to the armpit/groin. The bandage needs to be firm, but not so tight that it causes fingers or toes to turn purple or white. About the tension of a sprain bandage. Step 3: Splint the limb so the patient cant walk or bend the limb. Do nots: Do not cut, incise or suck the venom. Do not EVER use a tourniquet Dont remove the shirt or pants - just bandage over the top of clothing. Remember movement (like wriggling out of a shirt or pants) causes venom movement. Australian snakes tend to have 3 main effects in differing degrees. Bleeding - internally and bruising. Muscles paralysed - causing difficulty talking, moving & breathing. Pain - In some snakes severe muscle pain in the limb, and days later the bite site can break down forming a nasty wound. Final tips: not all bitten people are envenomed and only those starting to show symptoms above are given antivenin, but all snake bites should be treated as serious.

16.01.2022 Lots of stories about brown snakes at the moment. This one shows they aren't always brown!

16.01.2022 Throwback to 5 years ago today - upon reflection this experience was extremely helpful in reinforcing the importance of not sharing food. I believed my son was ...fully educated and self managed- but he was only 5 and children make mistakes. The best thing we did was recognise the symptoms early and administer his life saving epi pen. This was his first biphasic reaction and he required another shot of adrenaline in the hospital a few hours later. The phrase whatever doesnt kill you makes you stronger rings so true. ..... I never thought this would happen - Dean ate a pretzel from a friend who offered it to him!He has never ever eaten something from someone without asking. This is why I try my hardest to educate him and others about the seriousness of food allergies. It has been a while since we have had a reaction and this has thrown me big time. He is ok now- two shots of adrenalin needed. We just making sure it doesn't come back. Big lessons learnt today and Please MOVE out of the way of an ambulance when it has it's lights on!

15.01.2022 WARNING Children can get severe poisoning if they have skin contact with bedding or baby clothes stored with naphthalene (mothballs or flakes).

14.01.2022 Not snake awareness, but given the warm weather, a little awareness for those heading down to the local rivers to cool off. You may hear from time to time peopl...e talking about Bullrout. They are not an urban myth to keep the tourists away from the local water holes..... These little guys are very much real, and can be commonly found in many rivers and creeks throughout Eastern NSW and QLD. They are basically a freshwater stonefish, a member of the scorpion fish family. They are often found around obstructions such as rocks and logs in or near fast flowing water. Stepping on one of these guys can ruin a fun afternoon, causing excrutiating pain to the affected limb. First aid treatment involves immersing effected area in hot water and seek further medical assistance. Additional medical treatment often involves pain relief and injection of lidocaine to puncture sight(s). To avoid a mishap with one of these, a pair of old joggers or aqua shoes is a recomened before enjoying the rope swing and rappids. See more

03.01.2022 For most people bee stings are a painful experience, but for those who are allergic, a single sting can be life-threatening. Below we've listed the steps to take in the event of a bee sting When would this advice have been handy for you?

03.01.2022 Repost - Ect4Health As we approach Summer Snake Bites in Australia... That bite of summer has well and truly come early this year and with that heat, comes snakes. 3000 bites are reported annually. 300-500 hospitalisations 2-3 deaths annually. Average time to death is 12 hours. The urban myth that you are bitten in the yard and die before you can walk from your chook pen back to the house is a load of rubbish. While not new, the management of snake bite (like a flood/fire evacuation plan or CPR) should be refreshed each season. Lets start with a Basic overview. There are five genus of snakes that will harm us (seriously) Browns, Blacks, Adders, Tigers and Taipans. All snake venom is made up of huge proteins (like egg white).

DO NOT try to catch, kill or identify the snake!!! This is important. In hospital we NO LONGER NEED to know the type of snake; it doesnt change treatment. 5 years ago we would do a test on the bite, blood or urine to identify the snake so the correct anti venom can be used. BUT NOW... we dont do this. Our new Antivenom neutralises the venoms of all the 5 listed snake genus, so it doesnt matter what snake bit the patient. Read that again- one injection for all snakes! Polyvalent is our one shot wonder, stocked in all hospitals, so most hospitals no longer stock specific Antivenins. Australian snakes tend to have 3 main effects in differing degrees. Bleeding - internally and bruising. Muscles paralysed causing difficulty talking, moving & breathing. Pain In some snakes severe muscle pain in the limb, and days later the bite site can break down forming a nasty wound. Allergy to snakes is rarer than winning lotto twice. Final tips: not all bitten people are envenomated and only those starting to show symptoms above are given antivenom. Did I mention to stay still.
