Snake Bite Treatment In Nigerian Hospitals by therealak49(op): 1:03am On Nov 24, 2014
Was just watching a program on National geographic about a boy that was bitten by a black mamba and how he had minutes to survive. The swift arrival of paramedics which gave him the anti-venom saved his life. So i thought of how that was possible in Nigeria and how Nigerian hospitals cope with snake bites.
Have u been bitten and how did it go. Kindly share your snake bite experiences.

This happened years ago, my sec schl days in the boarding house. We were celebrating end of the session on our open field at night prelude to vacation when a guy/ friend was bitten. He was promptly rushed to a health centre, some fifteen minutes out. Cant remember exactly what he was treated with but I saw a very swollen leg the following day with fangs marks on his leg.
