A Safety Bay woman is lucky to be alive after she survived a deadly snake bite that caused massive internal bleeding.

Janice Taylor told Nine News she remembered feeling a sharp sting on her toe as she walked outside the Safety Bay Bowling Club last week.

At the time she thought she may have been bitten by an insect.

"It felt like a sharp prick. I actually thought that a spider had got me, or a bee," she said.
