A TEENAGE girl was flown by helicopter from Bruny Island last night, after being bitten by a jack jumper.
Tasmania Police said the girl had a serious allergic reaction and needed urgent medical help.
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter was called to Moorina Bay on Bruny Island about 6.45pm and transported the girl to the Royal Hobart Hospital for treatment.
Ambulance Service Tasmania said the teenager had a previous history of allergic reactions and the medication she carried with her ensured her situation did not become critical.
