Further in the article.

Dr Michael said medical staff did not need to see a snake to know how to treat patients.

"We can determine if you need anti-venom and if so, what anti venom you need based on clinical signs, blood tests and also the snake venom detection kits that we keep here at the hospital," he said.

"We're actually not trained to identify snakes, and so it's not helpful. "It just puts the staff at risk as well as yourself."
