Are snakes something I should be worries about when moving to Australia?

Answer

Australia, like many countries, does have snakes. However, they are mostly found in the bush areas. An interesting fact about snakes, they are a lot more scared of people, meaning that if you are out in the bush of Australia, it is more likely that your footsteps would cause a snake to go in a different direction. A few more interesting facts about snakes in Australia:

– The amount of snake bite incidents in Australia are typically between 3%-18% per 100,00 people which is less than many countries such as India for example, a country that experiences around 81,000 snakes bites per year.

– In the case of a snake bite, Australia hospitals and clinics have all the required treatment to ensure the best care.
