Teen Survives Deadly Coastal Taipan Snake Bite

A 15-year-old Australian boy survived two bites from one of the world’s deadliest snakes, the coastal Taipan. Ryan Cole was bitten on the foot as he jumped into a pool.


Cole began convulsing and bleeding from his mouth. His brother and several friends quickly cleared his mouth and wrapped a t-shirt around the bites to prevent the venom from spreading. They called for help.

He was rushed to a nearby hospital where anti-venom was pumped into his body.

“I’ve been attacked twice and bitten four times – that’s pretty lucky. But then it is really lucky to have survived. I’m really grateful to my mates that they know what to do and did it,” Cole said.
