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?
Very brave!! Next interview a shark bite victim (if u havent already done so)
Idk
Hey Coyote Peterson, Why don’t you get to think of a suggestion and creating a KZhead Videos and also a Documentary all about the Extinct Carnivorous Marsupials of Australia, Tasmanian Tigers (Thylacinus cynocephalus), also known as the Thylacines, or the Tasmanian Wolves on the next Brave Wilderness coming up next?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍
Shark attack victim?
Walking around barefoot in Australia is the bravest thing anyone could do.
That lady is an absolute legend. Dies from a snake but isn't scared of them and respects them. Mad respect
I mean she clearly was scared I'm not sure why she said she wasn't but no one could blame her
@@TommyT_ everyone can be scared of snakes. But I mean like she clearly isn't scared to the point that she can't be near them. She isn't scared enough that she can't be close to one. That's what I'm talking about that good on her for still loving animals like snakes
agree she is a legend
I love watching coyote because I spend most of my time watching these videos. I'll love them for ever Keep making them ❤🎉
@@king_jr-ski9288 you commented on the wrong section
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.
Right?? I'm 20yrs old and coyote has always been in my big childhood
Just watch Miller Wilson lol
I think he’s running out of bite/sting ideas for his videos.😮
Assuming by your profile picture you're still little?
@@Jesus_Christ_is_Lord_says someone who still believes in fairytails
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.
That's when a lot of that crap started.
Doctors like that should be fired. Don't assume everyone during that era were all hippies.
very true, though though we gotta remind ourselves that this was Australia in the 70s, very rough and dangerous
Just a gut feeling - but I think she may be exaggerating or "enhancing" parts of her story lol
@@specteractual1 That by no means excuses the doctor's actions. Any doctor who assumes what a patient has done and refuses/changes their medical treatment according to their own false judgement should be punished.
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
Yeah, that is such a clear case of malpractice. Sadly, suing doctors for medical negligence or mistakes wasn’t common at all in the 1970s. You just figured you had bad luck and lived with the consequences. I ended up with a chronic autoimmune disease after a series of medical errors following a major surgery in the 1970s. I was 12 and had no idea what was going on since the doctors didn’t tell me anything. All I knew was that I went into the hospital for a big surgery, and by the time I went home several weeks later, I had an illness that would never go away and would cause damage to my body over time. The doctor in charge of my care had apparently prescribed a medication for me after surgery that caused an unusual immune response from my body. The doctor misdiagnosed this reaction and ended up treating me for the wrong thing, causing further problems. Then he did nothing for several days, claiming he needed to wait to see if the treatment was correct. Once a different doctor figured out what was going on, the damage was already done. This disease has cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars over the past 45 years. It’s also caused me to become disabled as an adult, while limiting my ability to work. Had my parents sued the doctor for malpractice, I might not be living in poverty today. I’ve never been able to save any money because every penny I earn goes to pay for healthcare costs. My parents said that the idea of suing the doctor never occurred to them. It just wasn’t done unless the doctor had made an error so big it killed someone or left them permanently unable to care for themselves. Many people call medical malpractice suits "frivolous," but when a doctor’s mistake ends up costing you huge amounts of money over your lifetime, it’s not frivolous to have those expenses paid for - and to have the doctor suffer some sort of consequences for their error.
So sorry to hear that, & thank you for sharing- it’s stunning how much harm doctors can do, & then not care or even be held accountable for it-!! Almost like they think they are Gods alot of the time…🤨
@@VintageYakyucan still be sued, is it right maybe? Maybe not depends on the person's issues and aftermath afterwards and depends on the country ofc.
I had a similar story where I rushed to the hospital for chest and left arm pain. Couldn't breathe either. I felt like I was gonna die. They thought I was just on drugs or something. I was put in the psych ward and left without treatment for hours. They finally rushed in 4 hours later after blood test results came in and took me to the ICU. I was having severe pericarditis and could have died. Fortunately, I do not have any permanent damage and have fully recovered so I don't have grounds for a lawsuit. The aspirin I took right before I went to the hospital literally saved my life. I sure hope this poor woman got a good lawyer and sued.
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.
During the First-Aid demo I'm surprised Coyote's arm wasn't magnetically stuck to the floor.
@@MAGGOT_VOMITwhat? Why would it be stuck to the floor? His jewelry?
@@Upper_echelon_exotics Ask him. Back when he doing the List of stings he would claim he couldn't lift his arm off the ground. Which doesn't happen in the real world. I've been stung by most of what's on his list and never had that problem, nor has anyone else.🤣
I hope she got to sue the doctors that called her a hippie into bankruptcy.
He took the blood test. It was only his first reaction because he was not waiting in the hospital for snake victims, it was a rare case too, in the 70s.
@@Robbie_S Doesn't matter, im pretty sure she tried to tell him she'd gotten bitten. His bias wouldn't allow him to hear her, and that nearly cost this woman her life.
@@JayVoniS again... it was the 70s...nobody knew what bias meant and nobody was that woke. People were allowed to assume things first hand
@@Robbie_S Ever heard the phrase "it's better to err on the side of caution"? I'm pretty sure that was already a thing back in the 70s.
@@Robbie_Sdear me, saw the second comment... No words, hope there's help for you somewhere
That poor woman. The 1st hospital really screwed her over. Suffered all night when they could have helped her.
"Did you die?" Her: "Sadly, yes... but I LIVED!!"
ice age moment
This is so wholesome. I’m glad she’s okay and brave enough to touch a deadly snake. Great job Coyote and crew! 🐍💕👍
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.
Coyote should interview you, I wanna know that story and how you survived.
What did you do to it?
@@andanssascoyote should also collaborate with Tyler and chandler and talk about their cobra bites
I totally misread this. At first it sounded like YOU bit the snake, and I was a tad confused. LOL.
Ooooh, you're in the Tyler and Chandler club!
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.
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.
Awhh it's adorable when Coyote hugs Liila
Wholesome moment!

Yeah❤❤❤@@BraveWilderness
@@BraveWilderness❤❤❤
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!
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
When I was a kid many moons ago, our primary (Elementary) school used to have St Johns First Aid come to give us junior training. Kids can learn basic first aid and even CPR from age 6 and Snake bite was on the course. Personally I think it should be allowed in every school budget to get kids used to handling even tiniest of injuries 🙂
Doctors like that are infuriating. I had similar condescending experience after a traffic accident with a possibly more serious head injury. If they don't want to do their job properly, where lives could be at stake when they slack off, they should quit and become butchers or something more appropriate for their mind sets.
The worst part about this kind of fuckery is that some evil people get jobs like that specifically to screw potential victims over.
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.😊
She offers a great message about the ecology of snakes and their important role in nature. Well done, CP!
That first doctor almost cost her her life
It’s Coyote acting like he’s in pain from the non existent snake bite for me 😂
😂😂 that was so funny
Liila was great. It was awesome to see her touch the snake after all she went through.
I was starting to tear up when she said "I still love Snakes, I love and respect all animals" it was so heartwarming😢❤
What a sweet woman. So intelligent and you can tell shes super compassionate.
I love how he doesn’t try to make her or force her into anything! As soon as she said she was uncomfortable, he stopped! That should be the standard.
A harrowing tale of survival! Her account of the Rough-Scaled Snakebite and the subsequent medical challenges is truly remarkable. What a courageous woman!
Hi Coyote, Great to see you are back in Australia. My name is Jaison and I am 7 years old and I have been watching your advent❤ures since I was 4. I would love to go on a wildlife adventure with you in Australia. Please come to Sydney like you did last time. There are so many other wild places in Sydney like the blue mountains range which you could explore. Also you could interview people here who have had close encounters with funnel web spiders and great white sharks. I am your biggest fan from Sydney.❤😊
Hello Jaison 😊 I like your post . I was 7 years old once . That was a long time ago though . 😅 Im now an elderly woman , and still love going on all sorts of adventures. Hope you have a ton of fun outdoor excursions !
Coyote Petersen has already been to Sydney a few times (see the funnel web videos he's already done, and won't bother doing again). But good luck to you investigating wildlife in Australia!
Jaison, your spelling is amazingly good for seven years old. I know many adults whose spelling isn't as good as yours. 🎉
Way to young to be on KZhead
This lady is a warrior!! Great story and huge respect for petting the snake! I wish her the best
I hope she took that hospital for everything they had....just assumed she was some hippy on drugs?!?! WTF...they almost killed her..and she's got permanent effects from it, which probably wouldn't have been the case if she got treatment right away
And the ambulance ran out of oxygen!?
True
Hippie not hippy
@@IDGPLAYZGAMEZuh I think it is hippy
@@kelsey2333it’s definitely hippie
What a story, I'm glad she made it! Nice video!
Bless this strong woman I swear I would have gave up hope the second I could not stop throwing up.
That is so cool to see that she is so calm around the snake
Coyote, I am fourteen now. When I was nine, you cured my fear of snakes. 🙏🏻 thank you
I dont think we give Australians enough credit, but they are a REALLY tough people!
I was bitten by a diamond back rattler. The treatment made me so sick. I have no phobias of snakes and very much appreciate the non poisonous ones I see in my yard. However, I am vigilant about watching out for those venomous ones that occupy this area such as the rattler, copperhead and moccasins.
im guessing an eastern since you have moccansins. thankfully where i live we only have rattles.... but here in california we do have several types of rattlers and some have different cocktails of venom... such as the mojave is super dangerous and of course the western diamond.. but i believe the western is further south.
I was born in 1974 & have to say that this woman Liila is the bravest & strongest woman I know for going through this pain. I'm glad your still with us & part of the Brave wilderness crew. 💪🤠🐍💯
Very informative and very cool to meet Liila 🤘
I saw an Eastern Brown last weekend going for a walk along Paradise point. I really need to get some type of kit and keep this in my car. So many red bellies and Eastern browns in my area at the moment.
glad you are back coyote!
More to come!
She’s a tough cookie! I live in central florida and have learned all the markers for the 3 venomous snakes I’m the area and how to differentiate from the good guys… which worked out well bc about 2 weeks ago had a Floridian banded water snake sneak in thru my back patio door but bc I saw the lines on the jaw, and his pattern I new he was harmless. Stopped him up in a towel and released him into my garden. I agree with Liila that snakes just wanna live their lives and they’re not out to hurt us. I’m happy knowing I’ve got snakes on my property providing free pest control. ❤ Side note: I’d love to see more videos like this with Coyote interviewing other animal incident survivors, animal professionals, et centra.
SHE IS A HERO!! ❤😊
Wow! This was an Amazing Episode and Story!!! Love it! ❤
I love this video. This woman is a gem and has the right attitude. She's not only a fighter/survivor, but she is also compassionate and smart.
I love how Coyote acted like he was in pain while he was being wrapped up, so funny 🤣
I didn't laugh. Thought about it but didn't
@@SalisburyTheWaterFoxxo congrats
This woman is BADASS!
Hard not to love this woman. Amazing she doesn't blame the snake and is not afraid of them after her experience.
It was really fascinating to hear her story and it allows us to learn more about the snake's quick-acting venom! And you made it better by surprising her with her consent to touch the tiger snake and to learn more about the survival first aid! I always love survivor's stories so I'm happy that you did this. What's next??
I can’t believe this 😮what an amazing person to have survived this and still be living her life not scared of snakes 👏
Lila has such an amazing attitude!!
I had a close call with a Rattle Snake when I was about 7 years old. I wasn't bitten, but it was right under my feet, curling and tail rattling like crazy. I think that I was disturbing it's hole, kicking dirt while trying to climb up a small cliff near my Grandparents house up in the mountains. I consider myself extremely lucky.
I'm still a kid and you're videos just brighten my day bc somone hacked this account and deleted all my vids so I have to make another but I don't know how
This is awesome coyote!
It is
This woman has an amazing story and her life outlook is even more amazing.
This is just your average country Australian story, my aunt got bitten by a tiger when she was 11y/o. My day got stung by a scorpion a few years back and 9 months ago I got bitten through my shoe by a red belly black while on a walk. But thank god I and everyone I know who’s been bitten didn’t go through the same thing this incredible lady went through!
Yeah, Aussies be like that! 🤠😁🐍
"Very Relaxed" she says nervously
Thank you for such a informative Video...One brave Lady
Seeing proper first aid for different kinds of venom would be extremely useful.
Good to see she's lived a long time after such devastating injury & damage. Lila is definitely a fighter.
Mate, welcome to Australia. We have some bloody beautiful, but dinkum deadlies here. You'll have a great time
I died,and was brought back.
iseka i anime be like xD
12 seizures in a day is what did it
This was so cool and informative. I hope you guys do more of this. I really enjoyed it. Also super glad she pulled through her family would have been devasted, not to mention her babies.
One would THINK after this woman's near-death experience, that if you live near where there are venomous snakes, that proper precautions like NOT walking around barefoot, or in sandals would be a sensible thing to do. Also, making sure that children, when playing outside, who are curious by nature, are constantly reminded to be careful and not touch, or go near snakes if they see one.
That was the BRAVEST episode of the Brave Wilderness channel I have ever seen ! Thanks for the video Coyote and Crew 🐍🙌🏻❤️
This may be coyote's best interview!
What a brave lady !
This is so heartwarming and I dont know why but I love it. She is a legend for still loving snakes. Huge respect.
Dam she lucky glad she good
God bless this woman I’m glad she’s feeling better now :-) 😇
Wow. She is truly brave❤
You're always an amazing person, I love how nice you were to that lady! She definitely had an amazing story to tell. I'd probably pet the snake too.
“Did you die” “sadly yes, but I lived”
I have been watching coyote and the gang for many years and I still enjoy watching and now i’m an adult it’s amazing :) Lilla is a very brave woman.
She is amazing❤ I cant even imagine being in that situation. Sending Prayers and best wishes to her❤
I clicked thinking Coyote must have purposely got bit by a deadly snake and recorded it for our viewing pleasure. Never been more happily disappointed
I'm Coyote Peterson, and this is an inland taipan. Bob, you got the camera ready?
This is an incredible video can’t believe she survived very scary good to know what snakes can do to people so we can all be educated thanks brave wilderness for this video to educate us all on snakes and how there bites can affect us
I hope people in the USA caught that last part. If you are bitten by a rattlesnake DO NOT WRAP YOUR ARM. it is a different type of venom that will cause more damage with a compression bandage.
This man deserves mad respect this man got bitten by everything for us like this man built my childhood and let me know how dangerous some animals/insects are!
I’m a Queenslander living in north tropical Queensland and these videos are great to watch thank you for this sort of information.. I have one of those bandage kits
Yeah she’s right about the coma and having them breath through your neck hole. I had the exact same scenario (not a snake bite) and they had to do the same. I had that machine through my neck hole for months and it was absolute hell. The one thing in my life I never ever ever wanted was a tracheostomy. I can’t stand people touching my neck and here I was with a machine breathing for me through a neck hole that they have to drain every couple hours by using a mini vacuum cleaner they poke through your hole.
I love how he is still doing what he is doing before when I was younger I love you and your channel ❤
I live where coyote grew up (newbury ohio) and I was apart of the last graduating class from that school (we merged with West Geauga in 2020) he was also born the same day I was! I’ve been watching him since middle school and I just have to say thank you for all of the adventures over the years. You have nurtured my love of nature and the animals in it over the years, I appreciate you and your crew so much
Impressive story! I would have thought that most bite would happen on the lower part of the leg after stepping over a snake, so i was quite surprised to learn it tend to occur more often on the hand (i guess picking up things in a low and enclosed area could the main circumstances for that)
A bite on the foot is pretty much always an accident. A bite on the hand is nearly always due to pure human stupidity.
Love the vids!
Coyote I’ve been watching you for years I love you guys so much and your snake videos you guys have been a key part of my childhood and I want you guys to keep up the great work because you will always entertain and same to your crew
What an amazing woman. And I really appreciate that the guy giving the demonstration mentioned that with some snake bites (like from some species seen in the USA), you wouldn't want to wrap the bite location. ❤
What a lovely woman! So glad she’s ok now. ❤️
HES FINALY BACK
Well done with the explaining questions and pictures
That was a great video brother it was educational and i learnt something that I didnt already know
Another amazing video
Great story. There was a long time when tiger snake antivenom was all that was available. Not sure if that was the case then, but luckily, while there are no tiger snakes around the Gold Coast area where this appears to have happened, it is the closest relative to the Rough Scaled Snake. I was on holiday on the Gold Coast in 1974, though I was only 4 at the time, so I don't remember much.
Well this kind of stuff restores my faith in humanity a lot
I'm very glad that they mentioned that not all treatment protocols are the same. Most people only tell of one way to treat them. And it leads people to believe that's how they should all be treated. Which has lead to a lot of miscommunication and arguing about which one is "the right way."
awesome video mate
Thanks a lot!
@@BraveWildernessare you gonna keep the terror wasp episode to the end of the year
This was a great video and Liila’s story was quite a story. I am so so glad she made it through and is here to tell about it! I am glad she got to see the tiger snake and she was willing to pet it. Such a great story all the way around! I love 💕 love 💕 love when you guys post, although I missed seeing Mario! Tell him I said hello 😊. What about interviewing Chandler from Chandler’s Wildlife? He just got bit in India by an Indian Cobra…….just a thought. Take care and stay safe!!! 😄💙🐬🐊🐍🫶🏼
I’m sorry for your loss
I haven’t watched him in over a year, this is amazing.
Lila is definitely a strong woman, Bitten by a deadly bite and coming back to life then waking up after 6 days of a coma? My word that is alot, And coyote you are a strong man aswell, During childhood I'd watch your videos astonished by what you let sting, bite, Even be near you😂 And you actually slowly lifted my phobia of snakes surprisingly a long time ago, But just know that your content also was very educational for me as I grew up in Florida by a swamp probably crawling with gators and water snakes along side the insects, Love your videos, and how they help others in dangerous situations, Stay safe and Be brave, Stay wild, And I'll watch your next adventures.🎉
Walking barefoot in Australia is crazyyyyy lmao
