BITTEN BY DEATH ADDER REPORT

Details  are  brief  but, according  to info supplied  to this blog ,  a boy who was out with  a  group  ,  armed with  torches   to  see  the  creatures of  the night  on Magnetic Island , was  bitten on  the  toe  by  a death adder. The  bite  was   said to be  have been "dry "- no venom injected- nevertheless  he was  evacuated to Townsville   by  helicopter  in  the early hours. The  event apparently not picked up  by  mainland  media .
