Advice from his mum and the quick actions of his mate saved a 16-year-old schoolboy bitten by a deadly brown snake at Cummins on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula during the school holidays.
"I
thought I'd stepped on a stick with my other foot and the end of the stick just
poked into my leg," Isaiah said.
Levi's
mother had put a makeshift snakebite kit, including a bandage and instructions,
in her son's golf buggy.
Isaiah
remained calm and still and phoned triple-zero for assistance while Levi
bandaged his leg.
Most deaths from brown snakes occur due to cardiac arrest before
arriving at hospital.
