Tony Harrison, who runs Harrison's Gold Coast and Brisbane snake catcher business with his wife Brooke, was bitten by a snake in Logan, about 20km from Brisbane, on Sunday afternoon.

“Brooke is in the hospital herself. Please give us a break.”

The business added that Mr Harrison has suffered from cranial palsy since the incident.

“That means the neurotoxins are working [sic] His eyes and his tongue. It should be clear in a few days, because it is only temporary,” he wrote in the comment under the video.

“It doesn't happen often in humans and is usually found in pets.”

“Tony's blood is showing signs of improvement… his poison levels were/are very low,” she said.

“As for myself, I was not bitten. I was suffering from stomach and chest pain, fatigue and stress, which is why they pulled me out.”

This is the second time Mr. Harrison has been bitten live by an Eastern Brown Snake.

“I'm very aware of the potential, so I was scared to say the least.”

“I was worried about not seeing my family again.”
