Description:
Although 69% of the snakes found in Malawi are harmless, the majority of the venomous species usually cause a fatal bite due to lack of prompt medical attention. Often the snake is not identified and the doctor is left with the unenviable task of making a guess. This book details the 20 species of snake considered venomous to humans and provides quick identification, bite symptoms and treatment in an easy-to-use guide. The hope of this book is to aid in the correct identification and the administration of the correct treatment, thus increasing the chance of survival for the victim.
