If Snake bites????? Friends.. Be aware..

yes.. its a sad news.. 35,000 to 50,000 deaths are occurring due to snake bites..

West will never tire of imagining India as a country of snake charmers!!! I am always amused by this statement being made once too often. Only those who visit India, and those who have had Indian friends, if at all, one can get a fair idea of what our country is. It is true that when the population gets out of hand, health care,jobs,living conditions everything gets out of hand. Last year, I had an experience of traveling by car in one of our states. The driver took a short through some village. In fact I was very happy to note that the roads had improved. Being city dwellers we have little idea about what the government is doing in the villages.There was a traffic jam due to which our truck had to take a detour. The reason was some one was bitten by a snake and mobile medical help was rushed to the spot. I could see the government, medical van attending to the woman bitten by a snake. Of ten it is not medical help reaching in time, but the non-availability of potent anti-snake venom serum with the government health care units! Coming back to the snake-bite related deaths example, what I can see as a case in point is the penchant of our people to try some quack medicine before they even seek medical help. If they approach health care rather late in the day how could one blame the government of not providing adequate health care.

Well.. Aussie. I must agree with you.. I can understand your comments.. Its a sad truth that, here government is not giving much importance for these things and awareness too not much like you have in Australia.. This must be changed.. and i hope.. it will be changed.. By the way, thanks for your response.. Have a nice time!

Hi Alice, In Kerala I have seen that many cases of snake biting and even many deaths. My Aunt (paternal unless wife) is treating for snake bite (Ayurvedic) and on that I way I know many people who got bite from snake. Most of the people are unknowingly stepped on the snake as they (snakes) are in search of the prey in night (in villages there is not much light outside in night and there are lot of trees and bushes, so the night travel is difficult and create these kind of problems).

Hi my dear... for your information, i crossed a snake very closely yesterday morning. it crossed the road when i was traveling with my bike.seeing the snake, i stopped my bike suddenly.the distance between me and snake will be within just 3 or 4 mtrs. i felt like snake was scared on me() when i braked near to it. even i was little shocked for a second. Seeing snakes in my area is not a big thing. because, i know that snakes exists in my area which has a forest like look as well which is suitable for snakes to stay. but lastly i saw snake atleast 2 or 3 years ago.. and then, only now i am watching the snake close.. so i was little shock too.. and i think i forget to breadth at that 2 or 3 seconds.. i am wondering of this thing... I started discussions about snake and snake had crossed me now. I am thinking for what reason it would have crossed me... seeing this discussion in Mylot! and u had well said that, snake bites us only in case if they feel they are in danger or danger for their lives. actually it fears humans. But only Indian snakes are this type. Cobra's we see in discovery channels are so dangerous. there are lot of thing left to talk about those snakes.. King Cobras, Anacondas, pythons, mamba, etc., lot of snakes are there to study about it.. Anyway my dear, i am glad with your reply. Have a nice time!

well.. thanks for participating in the discussion, crazyjogger..

My God.. Cobra? The king of snakes? How dangerous those snakes are.. That was really scary to hear from you, sis. But its great to hear from you that you have 3 dogs, which will definitely protect his master. Cobra came inside the home anyway, thats dangerous and really a shocking news. Even i lived in a same circumstance like you before 3 years. Even Pythons came there 2times and its unbelievable that a big python had lived near my home for a very long time, where i walk that way everyday. when those land was digged, a big python came very slowly and too many mini pythons which are 10 to 15 inches in size. As it is non venomous, i planned to catch it and hand over to the zoo. before i reach the spot from my home balcony, they killed that big snake with bulldozer tearing into pieces. I catched one mini snake with me and i kept that python with me for 3 days. then i gave to a college student who asked me very much. Then later he said me that he left the snake in forest again as he dint know how to care and it seemed sick. I was little disappointed that he dint asked me before leaving. anyway, i had "nice 3 days" with that mini python. Its a nice time!

but you must note one thing here dear sis. the size of the snake is maximum 12 to 15 inches. and weighs only 100gms or less I hope.Thats the reason i had with me.

3 days with a mini python....all I can say is that boys will be boys...haha.....I wonder if he still remembers you??
