Can One Survive A Poisonous Snake Bite In Nigeria? by salvationproject(m): 6:07pm On Jan 25, 2021
So I was watching a program on NAT GEO wild where a deadly snake bite one of it's handlers. It took more than 20minutes to get to a nearby hospital whereas this guy was already losing consciousness.

On getting there, no anti - venom was available. This prompted the doctors to request one from an emergency response centre that brought the package with an helicopter 15 minutes later. During this period, the guy lost consciousness but thanks to God, Doctors were able to revive him.

Since then, I was seriously thinking about my country. What if this happens to one in Nigeria, will he be able to survive it? where are the anti venoms not to talk of emergency response helicopters.

That means if a deadly snake should bite one today in Nigeria, the case would be liken to that of one of such events in the apocalypto movie right?
