Australia is known for having some of the world's deadliest snakes. Unfortunately, people are sometimes bitten by them and rushed to the hospital, but emergency rooms are pleading with snake bite victims not to bring the snake with them to the hospital.

Hospitals in Australia say oftentimes when someone is bitten by a snake, and they don't know if the snake is venomous, they'll bring the snake along to the hospital. Hospitals say that is a very bad idea. Many times people bring them in an unsafe bag or container which poses a risk that it will get out and potentially threaten other patients in the hospital. Emergency room doctors are trying to make it very clear that they are not snake experts, so people should not bring them thinking that a doctor will know whether or not it is poisonous. What doctors can do is test the patient to see if they need an antivenom administered. (ABC Australia)
