'More than one million' died of snake bites in India
13.07.2020

The two snakes here are cobra and krite. Both of these snakes are extremely venomous and extremely dangerous. These snakes are of Indian species. In addition to these two snakes, there are many other species of venomous snakes, one of which is the most dangerous snake, the Russell Vipers.

The name of this snake is strange, it is like getting scared when you hear the name. The teeth of these snakes contain venom of such a deadly speed that it bites people to death in a matter of seconds. These snakes can spread this dangerous venom like water on several people at once without biting.

As a result, these Russell Vipers have the ability to kill many people at once. These snakes mainly live in or near dense jungles, but often when they do not get the food they need, they cross its boundaries and move around the human habitat in search of food.

These chrysanthemums are then known as one of the most dangerous venomous species of snakes. These snakes are very tall and their skin color is strange. From the head of this snake to the tail, it is as black as a chessboard. These snakes do not bite, but because they are taller, they attack by turning their heads at a 180-degree angle.

The strange body line of this crimson snake will make you weak when you see a weak person. And cobras are also very dangerous, these snakes have huge hooves. This snake attacks by turning at a 90 degree angle. This cobra is called the king of snakes. In India, most of the people who die every year from snake bites die from the bite of this cobra.

These snakes are mainly seen in a few more states of India like Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh etc. and most of the accidents happen in these states every year. In most cases, the people of the village fall prey to these snakes, especially during the rainy season, when they come out and bite people in the dark of night.

However, the number of people who died from snake bites in India was around 60 each and some of them were children. The three snakes I talked about were the ones that caused the most deaths, and the rest were caused by a few other venomous species of snakes. The reason for their death was that they entered a place where venomous snakes could be found without any medical treatment.

An Indian study said that The average risk of an Indian dying from snake bite before reaching 70 years is approximately 1 in 250, but in some areas the risk approaches 1 in 100. ( Source : ) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-53331803
