Does Cebu City have anti venom for snake bites? CDNDigital

PCAV is housed at the RITM, a health research facility in Muntinlupa City.

“Kanang mga mapakaan, DOH gyud na sila. Adto gyud na sila sa hospital. Ang tambal ana nila is antivenom,” said Rainier Manlegro from the Enforcement Division of DENR-7.“Sa Cebu since wala man kaayo tay incident with regards to snake bites, so wala kaayo ta ana . Mao nang kung mapakaan ta dinhi og bitin, kasagarang maturok sa atoa [kay] anti tetanus lang gyud,” he said.

“In fact, it is one of only 14 cobra species that will even seemingly spit at their threats. Research shows that this snake is one of the most venomous in the world, and the venom could lead to human death within just 30 minutes,” she said.
