Snakebite is a neglected tropical subtropical disease with more than 5.4 million snakebite victims annually, approximately 100,000 fatalities, and approximately 400,000 permanent disabilities. In areas of high prevalence, local farmers are at higher risk of snakebite due to insufficient safety awareness and inadequate protective measures. The World Health Organization adopted a new resolution on January 18, 2019, listing snakebite as a “global health priority,” and on May 23, 2019, published full details of its snakebite prevention and control strategy. The strategy aims to halve the number of snakebite deaths and disabilities over the next 12 years through increased cooperation, collaboration and partnerships at all levels to ensure access to safe and effective treatment. Popularization of snake bite prevention among the population is the most effective strategy to reduce the incidence of snake bites. Prevention awareness and education for people in high-incidence areas and workers in high-risk occupations can greatly reduce the risk of snake bites: 1. Use shoes and long pants Most bites occur on the lower extremities, especially the ankles. When walking in fields, grasses or bushes, it is recommended that sandals and shorts not be worn, but sturdy, non-mesh shoes and long pants. Protective clothing is recommended for high-risk occupations in high-incidence areas to reduce the risk of snake bites. 2.Use lighting and sticks Snakes in most cases do not like to face humans, so use lights to illuminate at night when out and about, and use sticks to strike first when passing through bushes and shrubs, which are used to avoid and drive away snakes. 3.Reduce contact opportunities All touching, threatening or attacking snakes are risky, such as playing with snakes, catching snakes, deliberately running over poisonous snakes when driving or bicycling on the road, and fishermen should avoid contacting sea snakes in the nets directly. 4. Change bad habits In snake-infested places, habits such as camping, sleeping on the ground, collecting firewood at night and urinating and defecating in the open can significantly increase the risk of being bitten by snakes, and it is advocated to sleep in beds and under tied mosquito nets. Snakes are easily attracted to food, so it is recommended that rest areas and dining food storage areas be separated. 5. Don’t ignore eventualities A venomous snake that has been soaked in wine for a long time may just fake its death. Care should also be taken when handling dead venomous snakes, for example, a severed head may also eject venom, and this information is essential for those who slaughter venomous snakes.
