World Snake Day: Today, on 16th July, World Snake Day will be celebrated all over the world. World Snake Day is celebrated all over the world to make people aware about snakes and to tell them about their various species. People are not as familiar with snakes as they are with other animals.
That is why World Snake Day makes people aware about snakes and for more information. If we talk about it, every year thousands of people die due to snake bites in India. Regarding this, the question that comes to people’s mind is whether any vaccine has been made for snake bite till now, so let us give you the answers to all these questions.
Antivenom injection is available
There are different kinds of snakes in the world, some of which are venomous, some are less venomous, while some are extremely venomous. Looking at the deaths caused by snake bites, anti-venom injection has now been invented. Anti-venom injection is done by extracting venom from venomous snakes and then chemicalizing it by mixing it with horse’s blood. After this, the anti-venom injection is ready. Generally, anti-venom injection is not required for less venomous snakes. But when a more venomous snake bites, then without anti-venom, life cannot be saved.
So many deaths happen every year
According to a statistic, every year more than 50 lakh people in India are bitten by snakes. Snakes like cobra, king cobra, krait and black mamba are very poisonous. According to the report of the World Health Organization, every year more than 1 lakh people die due to snake bites. At the same time, thousands of people have to have their limbs amputated due to the poison. If we talk about the species of snakes around the world, there are more than 3500 species. Out of these, only 600 species are poisonous. At the same time, 200 species of these are very dangerous. Which can also attack humans.
