Snake bites are a significant public health concern, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, leading to substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. The incidence of snake bites varies globally, with higher rates in rural and agricultural communities where humans and venomous snakes frequently interact. Certain regions have specific risk factors; for example, kraits often bite individuals during nocturnal settings, while viper and cobra bites are more common during agricultural activities. The demographics most affected are often those engaged in farming, herding, and other outdoor occupations, with children and young adults being particularly vulnerable [1].

摘要

Snake bites are a significant public health concern, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, leading to substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. The incidence of snake bites varies globally, with higher rates in rural and agricultural communities where humans and venomous snakes frequently interact. Certain regions have specific risk factors; for example, kraits often bite individuals during nocturnal settings, while viper and cobra bites are more common during agricultural activities. The demographics most affected are often those engaged in farming, herding, and other outdoor occupations, with children and young adults being particularly vulnerable [1].
