Snakebite

A snakebite occurs when a snake injects venom into a person or animal through its fangs. This can happen during accidental encounters, usually when someone steps on or disturbs a snake. Snake venom can vary in toxicity and effects, ranging from mild symptoms like swelling and pain to severe reactions that can lead to serious health issues or even death. Immediate medical attention is crucial, as antivenom may be required to counteract the venom's effects. Awareness of snake habitats and cautious behavior can help reduce the risk of snakebites in areas where they are common.
