I remember when this exact snake bit my younger Bru back home in the east. He was treated with herbs and all by a traditional healer. He made it alive. I guess this man could have lived if the people around acted promptly cry
RIP Mr sad

That's gaboon viper, the most deadly snake with the longest fangs

It’s deadly but not the most deadliest. Not when there is Forest cobra, Mozambique spiting cobra, green mamba, King Cobra, black mamba and the Oga kpata kpata inland taipan. One bit from any of these snakes especially black mamba and inland taipan; you are gone.


From the photo I can tell that’s a full grown Gabon viper with horns. Jeez! shocked.

Snake bite + native doctor = certain death.

People needs to be informed.

PS: The snake will still probably be eaten.

If you think Gabon viper is the baddest then try the African black mamba.

R.I.P. to the dead.

Shut up please. Where have you seen such rubbish practiced ?
Think about it. Better than being dead. Heat up a machete very hot and plaster d fresh wound to stop bleeding before proceeding to d hospital.

That's a viper.Unlucky fellow.

I'm sure if he went to a general hospital they wud have had the antidote cos that's a very common snake in the area. Most of these local physicians/herbal doctors are either fake or didn't learn the work well.

But snakes don't go about biting people. They only bite in self defence when you first attack them

Not necessarily when you attack. They bite if they feel threatened. So you might just be walking without knowing they are there and they strike. If you or they get too close for their comfort, they strike! It doesn't matter whether you attack first or not.

Rushing him to the hospital doesnt mean he will survive
Anti venom is usually not available most times
U will need the venom of the snake to make one

That's a very common viper in these parts, it's antivenom shud be readily available in major hospitals unless we don't know what we doing.

They should have tied the hand and cut it off to avoid spreading. Better to lose a hand than life. We need to be proactive in this country. Too many weak brains here.

the minute venom enter the bloodstream, its usually too late to cut the hand... unless you do that the same minute he was bitten. the stress/running to native doctor made his heart beat faster thus making the venom travel faster in his bloodstream

Herbal medicine?

Wetin do hospital?
Honestly there won't even be anti venom available. They have a better antivenom supply in the North. Like Gombe area where snake bites are more common. Especially if it happens in a place not too remote.

Native doctor? when FMC Umuahia has good snake bite treatment capabilities. All farming communities round the country should be enlightened on the right response to such incidents. His death was avoidable.

I doubt if they'll be of help. I think most of these venomous snakes have their own unique anti-venom.

Should be....

We have lifted crude oil since 1959. Do we have fully working refineries today?

The minute we know what we are doing things will be a whole lot different.
