Snakebites are a far bigger problem than we knew: new study maps the hidden dangers

Snakebites are a far bigger problem than previously thought, with a new study mapping the hidden dangers. The research found that not every snakebite injects venom, but when venom does enter the body, it can cause snake envenoming, a potentially fatal condition that disproportionately affects poor rural communities in tropical and subtropical regions with limited access to medical care.
