The browns will defend their ground - a bite first ask questions later type of critter.
More often that not they'll dry bite (no venom) and their fangs are real small. Often it looks like no more than a scratch. You'd be unlucky for them to penetrate a loose pair of jeans.
I know of a guy a couple of years ago who was bit on the foot by a whip snake at his back door. It was night time and he was wearing thongs on his feet (jandals for you Bill). He thought he'd scratched his foot on a stick and thought nothing more of it. Four hours later he was dead.
