Treating Deadly Snake Bites
Australia is home to some of the world's deadliest snakes - from Taipans to Brown Snakes, Tiger snakes, Death Adders and King Brown snakes. Consequently Australia developed a comprehensive antivenom program to try to minimise the deaths from snake bites.
Australia is the only country in the world with a snake venom detection kit which means that when you go to the hospital with a snake bite, the first step is to take a swab of the site to determine what kind of snake you've been bitten by, so that the appropriate antivenom can be administered.
By studying snake venom, scientists have also created medicines to treat everything from high blood pressure to cancer.
