Surviving a Snakebite 1 Annually, there are a million cases of snakebite in India and of these, close to 50,000 succumb to the bites. 2 When you look around the countryside, where most bites occur, and notice people's habits and lifestyles, these figures aren't surprising.

Attracted by the smell of rats, snakes enter houses and when one crawls over someone asleep on the floor and the person twitches or rolls over, it may bite in defence. 4 Once bitten, we don't rush to the hospital. Instead, we seek out the nearest conman, tie tourniquets, eat vile tasting herbal chutneys, apply poultice
