Sam Lythgo took her family to the nature reserve where there was a children’s adder trail on Sunday.
A young girl who was bitten by an adder during a day out at a nature reserve was left with her organs failing.
The reptile suddenly then lashed out and bit the schoolgirl’s hand. Sam rushed her to Colchester General Hospital - but by the time they arrived the youngster’s chest had begun to swell. “My 11-year-old saw one and got down to look and it bit her. She cried, it was horrible. It started to swell up and we took her straight to hospital. When we got to A&E she was being violently sick. Within 20 minutes her organs were shutting down and you could see the venom tracking up her arm. They couldn’t find her pulse at one point and they gave her adrenaline.
“They got her some anti-venom and 20 minutes later she said ‘I feel better’. It was only an hour from when she was bitten, it was insane.” A spokesperson from Essex Wildlife Trust told the Mirror: “Fingringhoe Wick Nature Discovery Centre has a clear sign at the entrance to our centre and on our website about adders, including information about taking caution and what to do if bitten. In this instance, the family also spoke to staff ahead of their walk where they stated they were looking for adders and were advised to remain on the path and to keep their distance from adders.
