[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] An accident occurred in Jeju where a female tourist camping was bitten by a snake and was urgently transported by the Jeju Coast Guard.

On the 3rd, the Jeju Coast Guard announced that on the night before, they dispatched a coastal rescue boat to safely transport tourist A, who was bitten by a snake at the camping site on Biyangdo Island, Hallim-eup, Jeju City, to Hallim Port.

According to the Jeju Coast Guard, on the night of the 2nd, a report was received that A, at the Biyangdo camping site in Hallim-eup, was bitten by a snake while moving to the restroom, causing difficulty in movement and severe swelling. Subsequently, at around 8:09 PM, the Jeju Coast Guard dispatched the coastal rescue boat from Hallim Police Substation, boarded patient A and two guardians at Biyangdo, and arrived at Hallim Port around 8:27 PM. A was safely handed over to the waiting 119 ambulance team and is currently receiving hospital treatment.

A Jeju Coast Guard official stated, “When bitten by a snake, remembering the snake’s color or shape helps in receiving treatment at the hospital.” He added, “It would be very helpful to learn emergency treatment methods through the internet or other means in case of a snake bite at camping sites or elsewhere.”

Meanwhile, the Hallim Police Substation of the Jeju Coast Guard has urgently transported four emergency patients by coastal rescue boat in four accidents that occurred this year on Biyangdo Island.
