HABITAT: Usually found in bedrooms, but has been known
to appear in the most unusual places.
ANTIDOTE: Various types of vaccine available for women.
However, once the venom is injected into the body only
drastic measures will ensure complete recovery. There is
no known antidote for men.
WHAT TO DO WHEN ATTACKED
TOURNIQUET: Do not apply a tourniquet as the venom is
too deep in the body to be affected.
CUTTING THE WOUND: This would be completely
unnecessary and ineffective as the bleeding will stop after
a few weeks anyhow.
SUCKING THE WOUND: This method is the most popular
with the victim, but so far has not been reported to have led
to any success.
SEARCHING FOR ANTI-VENOM :
1. Place four fingers of the right hand around the neck of the
reptile, with the thumb in the front.
2. Grip firmly and move the hand in an upwards and downwards
motion.
3. This will result in the snake becoming highly aggressive,
very rigid and start spitting.
4. The time taken for this milking process depends entirely
on the milker and the last time the snake attacked.
5. Once milked, the snake should be harmless for about
20 minutes.
CONCLUSION:
This snake, although it is very aggressive
