The bardick is a short, stocky snake from Australia that is mostly active at night. It is considered venomous to humans, but very little is known about its venom, and bites on people are rare. It is a snake that is worth recognising and leaving alone.1

Southern Australia, in three populations: south-west Western Australia, the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia, and western Victoria and New South Wales.1

毒液之力

咬伤

它咬的时候，毒液通过毒牙或牙齿出来。

它的毒液会造成什么？

Its venom contains neurotoxins, which attack the nerves. In tests it is highly neurotoxic to birds, comparable to the tiger snake, copperhead and inland taipan. Research on its venom is extremely limited, and the snake has not shown neurotoxic effects in people even after significant envenoming.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 严重被咬了要去看医生。死亡非常罕见。

It is considered venomous to humans, but there is very little information about its bites. Bites on people are rare. One known case needed hospital treatment because of complications.1

好消息：医生有药（抗毒血清）或治疗方法。1

如果它咬人

The one known human case was hospitalised and treated with common death adder antivenom, which abated the complications. This antivenom is made for a different snake, the common death adder. Seek medical care urgently after any bite.1
加压固定法：用有弹性的绷带紧紧缠住咬伤处，再缠满整条肢体，用夹板固定，让人完全不动，直到救援到来。
不要清洗咬伤处：医院可以检测皮肤上残留的毒液，以选择正确的抗毒血清。

注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
如果被它咬了：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。更多安全知识

事实

Its venom is highly neurotoxic to birds, yet no neurotoxic effects have been seen in humans, even after significant envenoming.1

One female measuring 41 cm (16 in) from snout to vent carried 13 full-sized embryos, which is one of the largest litter volumes recorded for this species.1

The bardick has short, hollow, fixed fangs that deliver venom to its prey.1
