September 19 - International Snakebite Awareness Day 🐍
Temperatures are rising earlier this year, and pairing this with drought and fires, snake season has arrived early too, with a few Gold Coasters already reporting snake bites!
Each year in Australia, there are around 3000 snake bite injuries, of which 400 - 500 casualties receive anti-venom. 🇦🇺
If not treated, a bite from a venomous snake can be fatal in as little as 30 minutes. A "Snake Bite" Bandage can be the difference between life or death!

R U OK? ⭐️
It's a simple question that can make a huge difference.
1. ASK
2. LISTEN
3. ENCOURAGE ACTION
4. CHECK IN
Do your best to check on someone that you know is struggling, not just today but every day - make "R U OK?" a regular habit if you think that someone may need a listening ear.
