| Abstract |
A beautifully illustrated field-guide to poisonous animals in Australia, covering poisonous snakes, insects, spiders and ticks, other land creatures (centipedes, scorpions, the platypus), jellyfish and octopuses, stinging fish and other sea creatures. People in a wide variety of occupations (outdoor and indoor) can come into contact with these animals. Detailed first-aid measures are given - in particular, the Pressure/Immobilisation Method of first aid, now recommended after most cases of bites and stings, are described. |
