Third person bitten by a snake in FNQ in six months
Police News
A man in his 40s was taken to Mareeba Hospital in a stable condition following a snake reportedly biting his leg at a Mareeba home at about 7pm last night.
This was the third reported snakebite in the region in the past six months, and the second this month.
A Port Douglas woman in her 60s was last week rushed to Mossman hospital after reports she had also been bitten on the foot by a snake on Sunday, November 2.
That incident was the second 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 Queensland Ambulance Service could not provide any more details about the incidents.
