A fourth person in the region in the past six months has been taken to hospital after being bitten by a snake.

The Queensland Ambulance Service reports that a woman in her 20s was transported from Port Douglas to Mossman hospital at about 11.15pm last Thursday night after a snake bite.

The incident took place on Davidson Street.

The latest report comes after a man in his 40s was taken to Mareeba Hospital in a stable condition following a snake biting his leg at a Mareeba home in mid November. 

And a Port Douglas woman in her 60s was rushed to Mossman hospital on Sunday, November 2, after reportedly being bitten by a snake.

The latest incident was the third of its kind in Port Douglas in the past six months, with a teenage boy admitted to Mossman Hospital with a snake bite in late July.

The QAS stated it could not provide any more details about any of the incidents.

If you have information for police about this, or any other, incident contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersqld.com.au.
