How to safeguard against snakes and snake bites

The potency of the venom of wild snakes varies considerably, even within any single species. This is because of assorted influences such as biophysical environment, physiological status, ecological variables, and genetic variation.

The smaller the victim, the greater the effect of the venom so children and pets will be more affected than adults. The snake does not have to be killed and brought with you when seeking medical attention. This wastes time in seeking help and increases the risk of being bitten again. Medical professionals will treat you according to the symptoms you present with, which will also identify which family of snake was involved.
