Dangerous Snakebites in Africa: The Silent Crisis

Credited from: NYTIMES

  • Beatrice Ndanu Munyoki, an 11-year-old, was bitten by a snake while tending to her family's goats in Kenya.
  • Her father rushed her to a nearby hospital, but it lacked the necessary antidote for her snakebite.
  • After transferring her to a different facility, Beatrice received antivenom, but her injury required amputation.
  • Each year, approximately five million snakebites occur globally, resulting in around 120,000 deaths and many amputations.
  • Contributing factors include deforestation and climate change, increasing human-snake interactions in regions like Kenya.
