Deadly Snake Bite - She Died.

This is an Interview with a Snake Bite Victim.... no, a Snake Bite SURVIVOR!

On this episode, Coyote sits down with the AMAZING Liila -- an Australian mother who was bitten and nearly killed by a venomous Rough-Scaled Snake in the '70s. She recounts the snake bite with its many shocking symptoms, then discusses how improper medical care and failure to administer antivenin led to her heart stopping, her needing to be revived, and ultimately her falling into a coma.

Coyote also demonstrates what to do if YOU are bitten by a neurotoxic venomous snake ie. how to survive a snake bite, with the help of a SURVIVAL Snake Bite Kit.

Will Lilla be brave enough to handle a Tiger Snake - the deadly snake whose venom helped to save her life? Time to find out!

How brave is Liila?! 💪 Who should we interview next?

[BlakTheSllyXD]

I miss watching coyote as often as I used to when I was little. Coyote was a HUGE part of my childhood, and I'd like to thank him for making it amazing.

[doodleartlover]

I liked Liila... she seems like a very nice and tough lady. I'm glad she didn't lose her compassion for animals because of the snake bite. I wish her well.

[madelinegarber]

That first doctor should be sued for malpractice. What a crazy story and such a strong compassionate woman. I like how patient Coyote was once they had the snake out and how he kept checking to make sure she was comfortable

[llukandane]

To think she could’ve lost her life from a poor doctor’s judgement, “Oh, she’s just a hippie on drugs.”, is shocking that far back into the past.

[giovannamoretti]

This is so wholesome. I’m glad she’s okay and brave enough to touch a deadly snake. Great job Coyote and crew! 🐍💕👍

[aubreesplichal]

I love how Lila said she didn't want to pet the snake but she ends up doing it! She is super brave and I admire her!

[maeganroberts]

Coyote I would just like to say thank you for educating my daughter on animals and being A big part of her childhood. She still watches your videos every now and then, but the amount of knowledge that she now has about animals is incredible.😊

[aisforannihilation]

That poor woman. The 1st hospital really screwed her over. Suffered all night when they could have helped her.

[onslavght]

Awhh it's adorable when Coyote hugs Liila <33

[cory]

The woman got bitten by a dangerous snake and survives to tell the tale. I love how this channel is teaching us what to do if we get bitten by venomous snake, mad respect for the Brave Wilderness crew.

[TigerStyleFanMIZ]

It hurts my heart so much that the doctors wouldn't listen to her. While it wasn't a life threatening situation, I had also had the experience of ER medical staff not listening to me. I was told that that a GI bug was going around, and that's probably what I had. Since I had those same symptoms before I knew that wasn't the problem. They sent me home with a medication that made my symptoms worse, and I ended up back in the ER that night. They had theories, but they never could figure out what was causing the pain. Occasionally I'll still get the same pain, but for several years it hasn't been severe enough to cause me to seek medical attention.

[OchoVerde]

She offers a great message about the ecology of snakes and their important role in nature.
Well done, CP!

As someone who took a bite from a king cobra(my own "pet" which isn't at fault, I am responsible for it biting me, ) this woman's story really resonates with me. The entire process was surreal. Laying there wondering if today is your last day while all of these doctors are trying to figure out what to do. I'm in the USA so the doctors didn't believe that I was bitten by a king, even though I was 100% sure as it was my snake. It was terrifying. Just like her I'm lucky to be alive, but it didn't kill my love for snakes. I love my king. Snakes are amazing creatures and have an important job. If anything, it made me truly respect the abilities of these animals. I'm so glad she's here to tell her story, and I appreciate that she doesn't hate snakes just because she got bit and almost lost her life.

[MarinusMakesStuff]

I hope she got to sue the doctors that called her a hippie into bankruptcy.

[themightykingjosiah]

"Did you die?"

Her: "Sadly, yes... but I LIVED!!"

[CritterClipses]

A harrowing tale of survival! Her account of the Rough-Scaled Snakebite and the subsequent medical challenges is truly remarkable. What a courageous woman!

[Wheeler]

you remind me of like Steve from blues clues if he was raised by Steve Irwin. A GIFT to nature lovers, esp younger people. thank you for doing what you do

[mrasile]

Hard not to love this woman. Amazing she doesn't blame the snake and is not afraid of them after her experience.

[dillydubs]

This lady is a warrior!! Great story and huge respect for petting the snake! I wish her the best
