Hospital staff came face-to-face with one of the world's most deadly snakes after a patient brought it to the emergency department in a snap-lock lunch container.
Why? You’ve literally just heard exactly why it is worse to do so. It doesn’t help. It only hinders, and it means more people had to be put at risk. You are more likely to die by bringing the snake than by not bringing it. And either way you aren’t very likely, so there is no need to take the risk, or delay going to the hospital longer to bring the snake which will delay you even more once you get to the hospital since the hospital doesn’t need it and dealing with it costs time.
While I’m pretty sure at this point you must be joking, I’m going to be a buzzkill and take it as serious anyway. Because this can be important. Bringing the snake, alive or dead, is more likely to cause your death and will do nothing to increase your odds of survival, do not bring the snake, alive or dead.
