I can't see d snake very well... I think it's a harmless snake.. But if it is a cobra start looking for d local anti-venum I no trust Nigerian hospital oh especially on snakebite
Same local anti venom that resulted in the death of a farmer here in umuahia last year? They had to rush him to FMC when it was already late for him. There are different types of snake venoms
1. Hemotoxic venoms attack blood vessels
2. Neurotoxic which attacks the nervous system
3.cytotoxic which is a combo of both!
If you use a hemotoxic antivenin on a neurotoxic snake bite it won’t work! So unless that local antivenom concoction is specific it will fail..moreover not all snake bites are fatal or even dangerous for man. Some of those guys treat dry snake bites with their concoction and assume they have gotten the magic to snake bites.

Its better you take the dead snake to the hospital, the person in charge of creating the antidote should be able to identify the snake or you can take the snake to a herbalist (if there's any around your vicinity), they should be able to tell the exact snake it is.

... wishing your brother a quick recover

Op. In Nigeria, if it's a black snake and bites, it's probably a cobra.



Please Google how anti venom is produced. Do you think it's a day's job?

But they'll produce it isn't it?

The antidote is in that snake.
Tear it head open.

It takes months. By which time, the victim will be history.

Besides, I don't think that Nigeria has any capacity for antivenom production. As always, we import it from other countries.

Real recognize real.

So I guess na only Lalasticlala go fit ID the snake well. E get one of my guys that year in JSS1 called Eddy. He was a strong brown skin boy who never backs away from any snake or scorpion found in the dormitory.

Eddy killed so much snakes and scorpions we nicknamed him Eddy The Scorpion Killer.

One fateful day, during our weekly Thursday 'manual labor' news made rounds that Eddy had been stung by a black scorpion and was rushed to the Sick Bay.

As if that wasn't enof later the same day around evening time, another shocking news swept over the entire blocks of dorms in school...

... and it was about Eddy.

The Scorpion Killer has been bitten by a snake this time. He survived both incidents. We had no choice but to comot the 'Scorpion Killer' from his nickname because e be like the snakes and scorpions been dey plan revenge

So I guess it's one day for the Snake Killer. Another for the snake wink

Very funny grin

I wish your brother a quick recovery. The image is not clear enough to aid proper identification, but it looks like a cobra !

If you live in a bushy or swampy area,always keep some wallnuts ( Awusa in Yoruba) at home. If eaten immediately after snake bite,it helps to reduce ,very greatly,the viral level of the snake's venom before you take the victim to the hospital.

Common, Scorpion bites don't lead to death in most cases bro. Get yourself informed nah. Google is there if you are too lazy.

I have had over 20 people with scorpion bite and they are all alive, my baby inclusive. No special treatment, just painkillers.

I was bitten by this type of snake (Bigger one) back then in UNN at Odenigwe near British lodge.
If not for the solidarity of the villagers and students who took me to local snake herbalist that treated me .
But the pains was excruciating .
Snake is very dangerous.

The picture is too dark, I can't figure out the patterns on the skin. Note this this however:
-If the bite mark doesn't have two dots over two dots (like a mark u get when a creature with only two teeth above and two below bites you) but appears like a circle with dots (like the pattern bites from human beings make)
-if the area of the mark today, is not red an swollen.
-If your brother is not feeling nauseous, headache or/and having breathing issues.
-and if the wound have been cleansed and he has been giving ordinary antibiotics.
Take him home. He is fine and he has most likely been bitten by a non-venomous snake.
Non-venomous snakes are far more common than venomous snakes

I guess there is more to this story. The interpretation implies to the wide range on how snake story spread so easily on nairaland. Nairaland has been on hunt for snake story over the years and that has helped a lot to promote young talented snake killer across the nation. I so much enjoy your story to some sertisfied extent. I am glad i finanly speack out on snake matter on nairaland via quoting.

Get him to ingest some activated charcoal. Give him every 30 minutes or so. It will adsorp the poison. He should drink enough water. Also make poultice with same on the bite spot.
