What Aussie doctors discovered when a teen filmed her snake bite
She is only the second confirmed case of envenomation by the ‘shy’ small-eyed snake
Australian doctors are reporting the unusual case of a teen who filmed herself being willingly bitten by an unfamiliar but venomous snake.
Before the 18-year-old presented to the ED, there had only been one other confirmed case of envenomation by the small-eyed snake (Cryptophis nigrescens), the Cairns Hospital doctors say.
