emmanuelbrown26:We're talking about snake bites here not diabetes! Even oyibo people still advise us to always take fruits and vegetables so what are you saying? It is ironic that a country situated in the snake belt of the world still depends on antivenoms from outside the continent! That's fvcking crazy! That means a bite from a puff adder for example is a death sentence. 2 Likes |

I remember David ebunu....he was bleeding thick black blood when he died in the presence of his family after 3 days of coming from the farm with 4 tiny holes in his swollen ankles.. He said it was a plant that injured him like that unknown to everyone it was a snake bite. It was horrible to lose a brother to snakebite. Since then I have had this irrational fear of snakes The government needs to do something about this reptiles from the pit of hell especially in South West Nigeria. 2 Likes |

shantti: Most snake bites in Nigeria are from non venomous snakes. Also have you heard of dry bite before? All snake bite cases from venomous snakes I've seen or heard of in naija, the victim almost always dies due to lack of antivenom. Naija is just messed up. |

Remag666: May his soul rip. Only if they had taken him to a hospital or even a pharmacy(the experienced once). The history of bleeding from 4 tiny holes on his ankle with swelling and coagulopathy while returning from the farm gives the diagnosis away as snake bite. 1 Like |

yanabasee2: Which of your great grand fathers lived healthier and longer than today's men Most men died before their 40th birthday pre indepedence https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/NGA/nigeria/life-expectancy Only now (2020s) are we seeing life expectancy approach the late 50s for men. Stop spreading misinformation and maligned conjectures. If herbal medicine were as potent as you ignorant lot would have us believe, the whites would've stolen it from us. Just as they stole relevant things ( youth, and resources) from your forefathers. |

yanabasee2: I hope you don't reason like this in real life. Who told you traditional treatment is the best for snake bite? No your great-grandfathers lived shorter than you do today. |
Re: How Insufficient Anti-snake Venom, Treatment Centres Fuels Deaths In Nigeria by kowalsky: 6:46pm On Nov 14, 2021 |
yanabasee2: The best bet is an antivenom, don't kid yourself. Most patients you see in hospitals with debilating venom induced health problems are those who'd gone through several rounds of traditional remedies without success Ironically, if they'd presented earlier (and supposing antivenin was available) they'd be better off for their symptoms. |

And some people will say 'don't kill snakes'. Let's declare a war against snakes in Nigeria, imagine 20, 000 death annually. |

No problem Nigeria. We will have to start showing snake no mercy because we cannot allow them to kill us in our own conutry. |

ManirBK: But, raw cassava has hydrogen cyanide, which is toxic for human consumption. Though my wife just commented now that it works. What's the chemistry of action of cassava tubers against snake venom? Is it selectively toxic? Let's run minds 1 Like |

ManirBK:it is not laziness, most medical doctors are not in support of herbal cure. So herbalist and medical doctors are like parallel lines. It would have been a good thing to create a ward in the hospital for the herbalist to carry out researches and put to use their finds with the inspection of the medical but no, the white men and their inventions are always right, a very bad mentality to have 2 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=wunmi590 post=107616531] Majority of the snakes that was suppose to be used to get venom have been killed, roasted and ended up in human belly I guess Nigerian have master the art of using the traditional method to treat snake bite, but as a country we still need to look beyond traditional medicine for those who reside in the cities, so that most hospitals can have them readily available... [Quote] If this is the case, which snakes are doing the biting?? |

Temi2468: You should ask how it works. If we did know how hydrogen cyanide works, we might be able to guess how it does. Maybe it breaks down proteins which I think venoms are like. It could also be selectively toxic. Remember hematoxic antivenins may not work for neurotoxic venoms. That's why I believe victims are asked to describe the kind of snake that bit them 1 Like |
