Da geht es um das ASI = African Snakebite Institut
Ist ja ein Angstthema und wird (ws. nicht nur von mir) gerne verdrängt.
Ein paar Infos und Tipps finde ich ganz interessant und möchte Sie hier zur Kenntnis bringen
... Never try to catch or kill a snake. Slowly move away from it. With five or more metres between yourself and the snake, you are perfectly safe.
... I see many folks in ICU (Anm.: Intensivstation) that tried to catch what they thought was a harmless snake or used braai tongs to catch a venomous snake.
... most bites happen in the early evening from January to April when snakes are most active. Around 85% of all victims are bitten well below the knee when accidentally standing on a snake.
... remember that a number of snakes play dead and will bite if handled.
... Carrying antivenom on an overland trip is not advisable.
... Antivenom is very expensive at around R15,000 to R20,000 per treatment for the antivenom alone.
... There are around 20,000 snakebite deaths a year in North Africa
Den letzten Punkt kann ich allerdings kaum nachvollziehen.
20.000 Tote entspricht fast der Zahl der Verkehrstoten in ganz Europa...
