Vava Suresh had been rescuing the cobra in the Kottayam district of Kerala on the evening of January 31 when, in a quick movement, it bit him above the knee. Suresh suffered a cardiac arrest while being rushed to the Kottayam district hospital.
Suresh was in the intensive care unit for a week. Local news outlet Onmanorama reported that those bitten by cobras are usually given 25 bottles of antivenom; however, the medical board decided to inject 65 after no progress was made in Suresh's health.
On February 4, Suresh was taken off a ventilator and began breathing on his own. He was discharged on February 7, having no health issues except for a mild fever.
Snakes are a huge public health problem in India. In 2020, it was estimated that 1.2 million people in the country died as a result of snake bite between 2000 to 2019.
Suresh is a well-known wildlife conservationist and snake expert in India. He made his name by saving snakes that have strayed into human-inhabited areas in Kerala.

humans stay out of the snake areas, snakes stay out of the human areas. If snakes break the deal that's on them.

Holy shite. That's an unreal number.
I follow this guy on IG that handles "hots," aka venomous snakes. I don't follow him because I like snakes. Quite the opposite. I follow him because one day I know he's going to end up on the wrong end of a snake. LINK

This person obviously suffers from some severe type of mental illness.

Louisiana sure as a lot of snakes. We are just lucky that most are harmless.

India is filthy. Filthy attracts rodents. Rodents attract snakes. That’s how you end up with millions of snake and human interactions. India needs to fix their sanitary situation. Oh, and India has a large number of extremely venomous snakes, mainly the Russell’s Viper and Indian Cobra. I believe the Russell’s is responsible for the most deaths.

I watch Chandler's Wildlife on youtube. He handles cobras and other venomous snakes all the time.
