24.01.2022 Lots of stories about brown snakes at the moment. This one shows they arent always brown!

23.01.2022 MEASLES ALERT FOR GOLD COAST & LOGAN Gold Coast Health Public Health Unit is responding to two cases of measles involving two members of the same family. B...oth people visited the following locations while unknowingly infectious: Reading Cinema, Harbour Town and Restaurant precinct on Thursday 18 July between 6.30pm and 10pm Ikea Logan on the morning of 19 July Gold Coast University Hospital Emergency Department on Sunday 21 July between 6pm and midnight Australia Fair Shopping Centre on Tuesday 30 July between 12pm and 1pm Big Top Playhouse Coomera on Wednesday 31 July between 11am and 2pm Westfield Helensvale, on Thursday 1 August between 4pm and 8 pm. Destiny Church Group at Event Cinemas, Westfield Coomera on Sunday 4 August between 9am and 12pm Pimpama State School Auction Fun Day on Sunday 4 August between 2pm and 3pm. Gold Coast University Hospital Emergency Department on Tuesday 6 August. (exposed people have been contacted individually). The Public Health Unit is contacting people who may have come into contact with the affected individuals while infected. Members of the public should be alert to symptoms of measles. The initial symptoms of measles include fever, lethargy, runny nose, moist cough and sore red eyes. This is followed a few days later by a blotchy, red rash which often starts on the face and then becomes widespread over the body. If you have any of the measles symptoms contact your GP and remember it is VERY important to call the medical practice first if you think you might have measles, so that staff can take precautions to avoid spreading it to others. Anyone born after 1965 who was in these areas and who has not been fully vaccinated against measles (two doses of MMR) should contact their GP. The measles vaccine is provided free for any person born after 1965. For more information on the measles virus visit the Queensland Health website or call 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84) for more information.

23.01.2022 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.

22.01.2022 While there are many types of seizures, someone experiencing a tonic clonic seizure (also known as a convulsion) will suddenly lose consciousness, or black out... then become stiff all over and have jerking movements. When the seizure is over, they may be confused, sore and sleepy. If you think someone is having a tonic clonic seizure, follow these steps: #Epilepsyawarenessmonth See more

22.01.2022 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

22.01.2022 Venomous Snakes CAN Climb! Wow! Yes that is someones roof...and yes that is an Eastern Brown Snake on top of it! A lot of people still believe that venomous sna...kes cant climb but this is definitely false. Carpet Pythons and Tree Snakes are still the best climbers in the business however a lot of venomous species have quite good climbing capabilities some of which climb regularly. This photo was sent to us by Kay Lene from the Blue Mountains. Kay Lene walked outside to find this large Eastern Brown snake on the roof. What a surprise that would have been! What a great photo.

20.01.2022 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.

09.01.2022 Doctor Mike appeared on Fox & Friends to recount the harrowing details of jumping into action when a passenger on board a Delta Air Lines flight from New York t...o Tel Aviv went into anaphylaxis. Dr. Mikhail Varshavski had to avail himself of the epinephrine meant for cardiac arrest in the airline kit and determine how much to properly administer to passenger Matt Faraco. We need epinephrine autoinjectors on all airlines concurrent with training on anaphylaxis. Airplane medical emergency: Saving a life over the Atlantic Ocean.

09.01.2022 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!
