It is estimated that about 5 million people are bitten by snakes annually, and these bites cause health problems only in about 1.8-2.7 million people, as many types of snakes are not considered poisonous, but it is difficult for a non-specialist to differentiate between poisonous species from others. Therefore, it is best to treat all snakes as venomous.

A snake bite does not cause death except in a few cases, however, it is best to call the emergency number as soon as you are bitten by a snake and get the necessary medical help.

Snakes do not attack humans if they do not feel threatened or threatened, as most snakebites occur when a person tries to kill or catch a snake.
