- Abstract:
The article looks at snakebites as a health problem, as of 2014. It notes that snakebites annually cause a significant number of deaths and injuries, including those necessitating amputations, primarily among poor populations. The author discusses research on a universal antivenom medication reported in the "Journal of Tropical Medicine" and calls for strengthening the public health effort to effectively treat snakebites. Topics include the cost of snakebite treatment.
