This is the second snake bite incident CareFlight has responded to in November and the fifth patient to be airlifted since late August.
RACQ CareFlight Rescue’s Bundaberg-based helicopter was tasked at 12.30pm to retrieve the man from Monto Hospital.
He was airlifted to Bundaberg Base Hospital for further treatment in a stable condition.
RACQ CareFlight Rescue advise people who suspect they have been bitten by a snake to stay calm, limit movement, apply compression and immediately contact emergency services.
