Man Lost His Life After Being Bitten by Philippine Cobra
SNAKEBITE – A man lost his life after being bitten by a suspected Philippine cobra in Brgy. Somagong, Bulan, Sorsogon.
A snakebite refers to the injury caused by the bite of a snake. When a snake bites a person or an animal, it injects venom or poison through its fangs into the victim’s body. The severity of a snakebite depends on various factors such as the species of the snake, the amount of venom injected, and the location of the bite.
Venomous snakebites can be life-threatening and require prompt medical attention, including the administration of anti-venom to counteract the effects of the venom.
Casualties often require immediate medical treatment, including anti-venom therapy, to counteract the effects of the snake’s venom and prevent further complications. Quick medical attention is important in saving lives and reducing the risk of permanent damage or death from a snakebite.
Recently, a 21-year-old man from Brgy. Somagong, Bulan, and Sorsogon passed away after being bitten by a suspected Philippine cobra. According to his family, the young man was bitten while cleaning the fields.
After the snake bite, the victim was immediately rushed to Bulan Medicare Hospital. The medical personnel provided initial treatment, but unfortunately, the hospital did not have any anti-venom available.
While being transferred to another hospital, the victim experienced severe pain. He was brought back to Bulan Medicare Hospital, but despite the efforts of the doctors, he did not survive.
The incident serves as a reminder for everyone to be cautious, especially in areas with potential dangers like fields. It also emphasizes the importance of having enough supplies of anti-venom in hospitals to quickly address such emergencies.
The young man’s demise deeply saddened his family and community. The tragedy will teach us all about the importance of safety and preparedness in times of crisis.
