The densely populated populations living in Telangana, Andhrana, Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Rajasthan and Gujarat live in densely populated populations, especially in the rainy seasons that occupy the temporary season between snakes and humans, especially between homes and nightshades, especially between rainy seasons, especially in the rainy seasons.
In a report on the National Action Plan for Prevention and Control of Snake Bites – “A strategic approach to the death and disability caused by snake bites developed by the National Center for Disease Control in 2030, the Ministry of Health, based on systematic research by researchers, showed that about 58,000 snake deaths, an estimated 30 million, an estimated 30 million, an estimated 30 million, an estimated 30 million, an estimated 30 million, an estimated 30 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, an estimated 10 million, a systematic estimate of 10 million, a global.
Only a small percentage of snake bite victims in various countries reported to clinics and hospitals, and the actual burden of snake bites was severely reported. The burden of premature death due to snake bites in India is estimated to be the life years of 2.97 million disabled people, while the global burden is estimated to be 6.07 million disabled people adjusted for life years, the report said.
According to a report by the Central Bureau of Health Investigation (CBHI) (2016-2020), the average annual frequency of snakebite cases in India is about 300,000, with about 2,000 deaths, which is due to snakebite aging.
Factors that may contribute to the high incidence of snake bites include lower heights, wider, the medical importance of cultivated arable land, species and population density, relatively high species and population density, especially in attracting large populations of rodent and amphibians, especially in cereal agriculture.
Agricultural workers in India face vulnerability to snakes due to their reliance on traditional, non-mechanized and cost-effective agricultural methods. During the monsoon, the risk is intensified because it coincides with the growth of agricultural activity and the snake breeding season.
In addition, they are exposed to unstable living conditions, insufficient lighting, sleeping on the ground and allowing outdoor toilets to further increase the likelihood of encountering snakes
