Delayed myotoxicity in snake envenoming by the tiger snake group.
Snakebite on the North Coast of New South Wales is not an uncommon cause of envenoming. We report a case of a young woman who presented after a snake bite and did not develop fulminant signs and symptoms of envenoming until 32 h after the bite.
