eastern brown snake
The eastern brown is the worlds 2nd deadly snake . The brown's name is not to be made fun of just 1/14000 of a ounce of its venom is able to kill a man and some bad news is that the brown prefers the populated areas of australia. Some good news is that half of there bites contain no venom and they prefer not to bite if possible. In the past the eastern brown has been known to chase after there attacker and bite them over and over and still dose. The eastern brown's venom is a nurotoxin and can cause blood clots and the person who has been bit by the snake can go into cardiac arrest. The best way to deal with the snake is to not move and let it pass by if you are far from the snake walk away slowly and do not go near even if you have a weapon like a gun a knife this will just make it mad if you miss so do not try this or it will just chase you and try to bite you. The best advise you can give to a family or a pal is to be safe and watch out for the brown snake if you go to australia along with the other snakes.
