So what's missing here, what's the lesson?
In an event that snake or any form of reptile plus dog bites, immediately look for a rope and tie very well the next joint after the area that was bitten, this will prevent blood flow from that area to the heart and start seeking medical care.
Good luck

CHIEFCHICKEN:
Does she live in the forest?
The snake looks too big to be in a city where sanitation is properly done

so snakes only live in forests?

I planned that this year I will have a pet snake. Last week I was at Hotel Presidential to see if those Abokis that sell different kinds of animals have snake for sale.

My aim of wanting to have a snake as a pet is for social media content. I am watching some YT tutorials on how to take care of a snake. Can someone recommend non venom snakes?

Get a King Cobra… you’ll be able entertain beings in the 4th dimension with your content.

Hezzyluv:
But, report has it that she went to more then one hospital and no antiVenom.

Within going from home, one hospital to another, the venom could have spread.

Cobra venom does not kill a man in just 24hrs.

Ask those abokis when you meet them.

nattyGENT:
There is anti-venom and anti-poison plant that we bought from the man that saved my brother from snake bite over 5 years ago that everyone should plant in their residence to avoid such avoidable death. It works like magic.

Bro, you didn't mention the plants and poison

Sijiade77:
And to think I spoke to her not too long ago before she passed on, I never thought our last meeting would be our last💔😞😪
Life!😔😞

You knew her ? What was she like as a person? Sorry for your loss.

galantjoe:
I no blame her.

I want everyone to know that hospitals don't usually have anti snake venom. However local herbalists do have most effective snake anti venom

So instead of us to use this opportunity to clamour for our leaders to equip our hospitals, people like u feel we should enlighten people on the need to rely on herbalists? in 2026?shame!

Python. Specifically the Ball Python . It's non venomous and doesn't grow large enough to asphyxiate humans.

Private hospitals in Nigeria are business centers. All they treat is Malaria and force pregnant women to do CS so tbey can make good money. Everything in naija is just corrupt.

It is funny but it’s not 😂😂😂😂😂😂

.shut up !!!!!!!!!!!

You know nothing about spirituality. It was a night attack and her spirit was conquered that's why she could not get help to survive

Omihanifa:

sharrap!!!

Keep quiet abeg.... This is why Namibians are using us to shine online. The girl was unfortunate. Snakes do crawl through cracks in septic tanks via pipings to toilets... It's been recorded all over the world.
Let's clamour for our general hospitals to be equipped with endemic snake anti venoms in easily storable forms.

galantjoe:
That is why local herbalist treat snake, dog and other venomous bites very well. She must have relied on conventional medicine to treat the snake bite. But hospitals don't have anti venom,

When a dog bite my daughter I took her to health centre they directed us to a local herbalist who treated her.

She relied on oyibo medicine forgetting her root,

May her soul rest in peace

Hmm, guy you are playing with fire, anyway think yourself lucky the dog did not have some serious shit like rabies.

Freshandfitpod:
north central has a lot of snakes state like niger and abuja, from the picture it looks like a cobra

u can see the way the snake was even standing meaning it can support itself and climb a high object.its cobra I learnt has that features

Nigerians will just be posting just to make fame.
Let's understand this. UK is a temperate country locating in the temperate region and temperate snakes are nonvenomous; meaning that there are not poisonous. Nigeria is a tropical country locating in the tropics. Biogeographically, equatorial region is a home to most deadliest species of animals (reptiles inclusive). In UK, out of 50 snakes,the chance of seeing one that is poisonous in the midst of them is less than 1. Comparing snake bites in UK and Nigeria is a bias argument that lacks credibility.Netizens are not fools.We came from different field of studies. Stop blaming the government. Fumigate your environment and stay safe. May her soul rest in peace.

Some post out of genuine concern for the betterment of the country and its people, sometimes these folks get it wrong and post up claims that aren't facts while expressing their opinions on everyday issues, the others are mostly out to farm impressions, make the social media money, intentionally playing with people's emotions is how they go about it, rage baiting and adding half-truths while making sure all is written in "good English", since many Nigerians believe blue tick folks and anyone who writes okay even in this era of Ai is intelligent and should be granted audience/following.

jerryunit48:
In school I was thought that it also helps to suck out the blood 🩸 in the bitten area to reduce the amount of venom

Even a small drop of venom in the system can cause major damage and death.

The number of snakes species in UK is very low and to add the few snakes in UK most are not venomous. UK, Ireland and vast areas of Europe where the temperature is low are not conducive to reptiles as they need the sun to keep warm.

In Australia and other parts of the world where snakes are a reality the number of individuals who die from a bite are much higher.

The other thing is if a snake bites you it's best to figure out what type it is because the anti venom is specific for different species, time is also of the essence as some venoms act on the respiratory system some target the organs.

Ponmoalata:
Another reason to Japa if you need one.


She would have made it had it happen in the western nations.

How many people die of snake bite yearly in the US, Australia?

Omihanifa:
This is purely spiritual

So the snake turned to angel Satan or Iya Osogbo after the attack or what? Tell me something I haven't heard.

Is that why we don't have anti venom in our hospitals?

When a snake bites you, you have very limited time to take actions before it becomes fatal. In some cases, as little as 30 minutes.
You can read clearly that they said she took herself to two different hospitals. Where else do you expect her to go in a city like that? She should start looking for a babalawo?

It's not about her relying on anything or making a choice. You people should be sensitive with what you type...

galantjoe:
I no blame her.

I want everyone to know that hospitals don't usually have anti snake venom. However local herbalists do have most effective snake anti venom

This information is for the loving to take note where such emergency arise, ask locals for direction

You have already blamed her

Between the local herbalist and Hospitals, which one should be closer for someone staying in Abuja?

You have to think before dropping some kind comment.

You should have asked if there is any local herbalist that treat snake bite in the area she reside

As you open mouth waaa to type this, if they asked you to give directions to the closest herbalist you know in your area, can you answer?
