What is Snake Bites?
Not all the Snake Bites are fatal, but even a bite from a so-called “harmless” snake can cause infection or allergic reaction in some people. Each year, nearly 8,000 people receive poisonous Snake Bites in the United States. Snakes often bite their prey when feeding, but occasionally they also bite humans. People can avoid and treat Snake Bites by knowing their etiology, along with prevention tips, and first-aid and hospital treatment. Snakes are most likely to bite when they feel threatened, are startled, provoked, and/or have no means of escape when cornered. Encountering a snake is always considered dangerous and it is recommended to leave the vicinity.
