No brain. Powerful sting.

There are over 200 species of jellyfish that can deliver painful stings. Some can be fatal. If you are stung by a jellyfish soak the area in vinegar for 15 to 30 minutes, or a mixture of sea water and 70% isopropyl alcohol, to stop the spread of the toxin. Wear gloves and remove tentacles with tweezers or a stick. Never wash the affected area with fresh water, apply ice or hot water, or rub the area, as this will cause the toxins to spread.

Bright colours are often nature’s warning.

Always exercise caution when coming into contact with snakes, frogs and insects. Bright colours are often an indication of venomous or poisonous species. If bitten get immediate medical attention.

The bite is ugly too.

Snapping turtles can be hot tempered and aggressive. They are ambush predators and are commonly found in well-vegetated shallows. If you must enter the water where you may come into contact with snapping turtles, probe the area with a long pole to encourage them to move away from their hiding spot. Never try to pick up a snapping turtle as even small ones can deliver a nasty bite

Coiled to strike.

To reduce the risk of snake bite avoid areas of tall grass, rocky outcrops, and woodpiles. Where the potential of contact with poisonous species exists, review snake bite procedures and have antivenin readily available. Remember that all animal and insect bites should receive treatment.

Lightning speed.

Basking alligators may look large and slow, but when attacking or defending nests alligators can move at surprising speed. When working around ponds, streams, swamps and marshy areas always exercise caution and check for the presence of alligators with a long pole before working near the water’s edge.

Bee~reaved.

For many people even a single bee sting can bring on anaphylactic shock and potential death. Being attacked by a swarm can be deadly even if you are not allergic to bee stings. When working in high risk areas wear lightly coloured clothing with long sleeves, and protective mesh head gear.
