Global antidote for snakebite
Scientists in Melbourne Australia gathered to discuss Global Snake Bite Initiative which will help prevent and treat snake bite. Read the story on Science Daily.
According to the article the number of snake bite victims is staggering and most occur in the poorest countries, many of the victims being children and young adults.
I have long known that the number of bite victims of the Russel's Viper is quite high.
I suspect it is possible that the bite numbers would be higher for that species if more data could be obtained from the outer villages and farms, areas sometimes not included on city reports.
The Russel's viper is only one of the snakes that causes serious injury and death. Check out the important information in the link above on Science Daily site.
