Snake Bite-1
General: Snake bites are common in Bangladesh during the dry and wet seasons. Even
though there are approximately 3,700 species of snakes, only 15 percent of these species are
considered dangerous to humans, and only two major families are known to be poisonous.
Furthermore, just because a snake bite is poisonous does not necessarily mean it will cause
a human fatality. In Bangladesh King Cobra is the most venomous snake.
If the snake sees no other options for escape, it may choose to bite.
Caution:
