A local attraction is always ready to step up and help in an emergency.
Last month, Bry Loyst of the Indian River Reptile and Dinosaur Park says he provided antivenin to a woman who was bitten by a snake while vacationing in Thailand.
He says this has happened more than on one occasion.
Loyst says it’s important to have antivenin on-site incase a staff member gets bitten by a snake as well – a situation which has not occurred.
