5,400,000 people bitten by snakes every year

[KingScorpio]

Wow, this is so sad. Poor woman and that innocent kid. But I don't get it, how didn't she realize that she was bit?

8,000,000,000 people on Earth. There will be casualties. There are millions of people who live in forests and mountains or very close to the forests.

jes some are doomed to do that, those that live in the center of human civilisation die at work, or in traffic accidents

1,00,000 people are killed by snake bites each year worldwide.

A mother and her three-year-old daughter have been killed in India after the woman was bitten by a snake.Not realising she had been attacked, the woman began breastfeeding her child. Both died before they could reach a hospital.The news comes the same day as the World Health Organization declared snake bites a "global health priority". Between 81,000 and 138,000 people are killed by snake bites each year, with around half of all deaths in India.

That day , a cobra snake ran away when the snake saw me coming 

[Petchant]

This is worrisome and it should be something of concern to the government of countries where it is paramount.

[First77]

This is just estimated number from World Health Organization, real number is another, much less. Up to 138 000 people are killed each year.  

There is a TV program about snake catchers in South Africa who catch snakes when they come near people and release them into the forests.

Hello there! Snakes are a serious issue in most countries, not only India. A lot of people die of their venom in states. In Arizona, where I used to live, you can quite often see a snake outside of the city or even in your own backyard. I’ve read here https://petsoid.com/10-north-american-rattlesnakes/ that rattlesnakes are quite common in the whole of North America. A couple of years ago, my neighbor in Arizona was bitten by a rattlesnake he found in his backyard. He was saved only, because paramedics were near, and arrived in 2 minutes.

Well, I understand it's pretty sad, however, why no one is talking about other deaths? What about different illnesses? Or car accidents?

Snakes have spread very widely in recent years, and the time for the largest spread of these creatures is during the summer, as this is the biggest time for snakes to breed. Despite the danger that snakes pose to our lives, they are very deadly to eliminate mice and many harmful animals.

Yabut, in this fake Coronavirus stuff, the whole world. The whole world is being threatened by medical snakes.

This is not real, I don't believe this... Too huge number.

my thoughts were exactly the same when i read title. but according to world health organization it's the correct number. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/snakebite-envenoming

Lots of people eat snake. Snake meat is rather good if prepared properly. The snakes are simply trying to get them back.

Snakes only Bites people if they are triggered.

Sometimes they are going in our places because their habitat are being destroyed by Humans.

If we don't get in their places surely we will not be bitten by Snakes.

This is very sad, but what can the govt and people do to reduce snake bites and Aldo yo reduce the casualties?

I guess the only way to reduce snake bites is to just not live near the forest.... But that's not quite possible since a lot of people do live in the forest
