He died because he is a Nigerian and lived in a country with weak health system.

He wouldn't have died if he was a South African or lives there.

When I watch NatGeo wide! I see how dogs are treated of snakes bite talk more of humans.

Our life expectancy in this part of the world is indeed low.

Don't blame those migrating out of Nigeria to Canada and other countries.

Security of life, high life expectancy, good medical care and assured future are the motivation.

Rest In Peace young man. Your nation failed you.

tiredoflife:


This is a lie
Even in south Africa u will die if they dont have the anti venom
Snake bites are dangerous anywhere in the world if the sample of the venom is not available to have the anti venom ready

Leave Nigeria out of it

MrBrownJay1:


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

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! .

GOFRONT:
Chaiii

Nigerians love to kill snakes, Now a snake has killed one of them....

Sassygem101, You see what I was telling you on your thread??

The fact this thread made it to FP was not because a precious soul was lost, but because it has a snake Content in it.......

healthserve:
Damn it.

AkpaMgbor:

That is why it is advised to capture a snake for devenoming it for emergency cases like this..oyibo wey dey do am no be fools..they catch those snakes and use their venom to produce antivenin to combat snake bites..

SweetCunt97:
A tourniquet would have sufficed.

delishpot:


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.

Ibrahiimo:
Watch your TONGUE

Yankee101:


First aid, bodily fluids, stabilization etc can be done b4 moving him to a bigger hospital

tiredoflife:


Well when have we ever known what we are doing

Guestuser:

Oga stop typing nonsense up and down .
I know at least 3 people that were bitten by poisonous snake and they survived !
Anti venom are readily available in most hospitals .
Nigerians and fake news . Eh!
Spreading fake news with so much energy . Abah !
What do you stand to gain ?

sweetjohn:
But the documentary I watched on TV said that snakes are one of the most afraid scrolling animal. When they sensed human they run and it is common experience even while growing up, they always run. They don't attack, that's why a snake can shelter in your house for years without you knowing. If they are bad, while you are sleeping they will have a free lunch of your body. They only attack when you mistakenly or intentionally marched or hit them and they do that with fear. Even from that story, the guy mistakenly cut the snake and the snake sting him in self defence.

CyberWolf:
Thats puff adder not Gabon viper

Lesson to those who think local herbs are more reliable than Orthodox drugs! Herbal medicines are based mainly on trial and error. The practitioners in most cases are not sure if these herbs work.

Simply rushing this man to a hospital and administering either a polyvalent or monovalent anti snake venom would have saved him.

RIP to you sir. You have paid the price of being born into a cave called Nigeria!

JoffreyBeroth:




If you think Gabon viper is the baddest then try the African black mamba.
R.I.P. to the dead.

bigiyaro:
una for go hospital nah! RIP to the dead.

Davash222:
Animal activists, shey una see why we dey kill snake anytime we come across them. these creatures are dangerous, once they trespass to your territory, kill them!! Don't listen to any nonsense animal activists.

AkpaMgbor:

They will never learn..you see them gulping concoction in the name of 'agbo'....how it was mixed you don't know, in what environment it was mixed you don't know...you don't even know the house of the seller..you just carry am drink..the orthodox drugs undergo a lot of research and testing before it is used on people...they have a name and reputation to protect..you can Sue them if something goes wrong..
