November 12, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

A South Burnett woman aged in her 40s is the seventh snake-bite patient to be airlifted by RACQ CareFlight Rescue in just nine weeks.<\/p>\n

It is believed the woman was cleaning out a shed late yesterday afternoon when she moved a washing machine and felt something sting her finger.<\/p>\n

Reports suggest the woman spotted a snake in the vicinity but could not identify the species.<\/p>\n

It is believed the woman\u2019s husband then sighted another snake at the residence while seeking help.<\/p>\n

The Toowoomba-based RACQ CareFlight Rescue helicopter was called to retrieve the patient from Dalby Hospital.<\/p>\n

She was taken to Toowoomba Base Hospital in a stable condition.<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of spring, CareFlight has treated and airlifted six other patients with suspected snakebites.<\/p>\n

On September 7, a young teenager riding a trail bike felt a stinging sensation on his leg and thought he saw a snake.<\/p>\n

His father took him to hospital, where test results came back positive for a brown snake. The Toowoomba crew airlifted the boy from Millmerran Hospital to Toowoomba Base Hospital in a stable condition.<\/p>\n

On October 9, a 10-year-old boy was airlifted from Warwick Hospital to the Mater Children\u2019s Hospital after a snake bite.<\/p>\n

Just five days later, a 20-year-old woman was airlifted to Hervey Bay Hospital after a suspected snake bite on Fraser Island.<\/p>\n

On October 20, a young boy was bitten by a brown snake in Toowoomba, requiring an urgent flight to Toowoomba Base Hospital.<\/p>\n

On October 27, a young girl was airlifted by RACQ CareFlight Rescue after she was thought to be bitten by a snake at a property at Tara in the Darling Downs region.<\/p>\n

A day later, a woman was airlifted after a suspected snake bite on a property north-west of Texas.<\/p>\n

CareFlight doctors urge people who suspect they have been bitten by a snake to stay calm and immediately call triple zero.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to limit body movements to prevent the venom spreading and use a bandage to compress the bite, wrapping it tightly down the affected limb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
