Australians unprepared for attacks by venomous creatures

Australians unprepared for attacks by venomous creatures, survey reveals.

"Many Australians have no idea how to deal with attacks from venomous creatures and young people are most at risk, new research reveals.

The survey of 1,247 people, commissioned by vaccine company Sequirus, found only one in 10 packed a first aid kit for trips to the bush or the beach.

It found one in four respondents would not know what to do if bitten or stung by a venomous creature.

People aged under 25 were the least prepared, with 31 per cent admitting they lacked the knowledge to act on bites and stings." http://tipsandsteps.com/shortlink/ka
