Abstract

A rare occurrence of serious envenomation by a sea snake in the waters of a popular Sydney beach is reported. A 19-year-old man was bitten while swimming, then quickly developed major proximal neuromuscular complications. Prompt, effective first aid (firm limb bandaging and splinting), transport to hospital, and administration of antivenom led to the rapid, full recovery of the patient who was discharged from hospital on the following day.
