Upcoming Meetings:

November 28^th, 2024

The next meeting of the SAMHS will be held on Thursday, 28^th of November at the Dulwich Community Centre, 14 Union St, Dulwich at 6:00 pm.

Our next general meeting will be held at 6pm on Thursday, 28 November 2024, and we are pleased to welcome Dr. Chino Yuson as our speaker. Dr. Yuson, an immunology specialist and allergist, will talk abut Jack Jumper Ants, focusing on immunological research conducted by him and SAMHS committee member A/Prof Bob Heddle.

For those unfamiliar with the risks associated with these ants, it is worth noting that approximately 10,000 individuals in Tasmania have experienced anaphylaxis from their sting, with another 20,000 reporting generalized reactions. This issue surpasses bee sting allergies, affecting almost 3% of the population. Tragically, fatalities from Jack Jumper Ant stings, while rare, have occurred.
