Case study of snakebite in Northern Kenya by Diana CarsonBio-Ken
Northern Kenya Snake Bite Case Study
An employee in Northern Kenya was bitten by a carpet viper while walking near a soak pit at night wearing flip flops. He was given first aid on site and transported by air to a hospital in Nairobi where he received antivenom treatment and recovered. The incident highlighted challenges with remote medical evacuations and the need to correctly identify the snake species to administer the appropriate antivenom. Lessons included improving safety practices like wearing boots, lighting areas at night, and ensuring adequate medical support and antivenoms are available for remote sites.
This document discusses Royjan Taylor's work with Bio-Ken Snake Farm in Kenya to promote conservation of reptiles like snakes through their "Saving Snakes" initiative. It aims to educate people on the importance of snakes in controlling rodent populations and to rescue snakes from being killed. The initiative hopes to expand across Sub-Saharan Africa by increasing awareness, finding regional partners, and obtaining sponsorships to support rescuing and caring for snakes.
The James Ashe Antivenom Trust (JAAT) was founded 10 years ago to provide antivenom and education about snakebites in rural Kenya. It started from the work of James Ashe and his wife Sanda at Bio-Ken Snake Farm in Watamu, where they treated snakebite victims with antivenom. Over time it grew into a registered trust to secure more funding. JAAT now stocks antivenom and educates communities about prevention and treatment of snakebites, but is in need of more funding to continue its work saving lives.
Snake-bites in remote areas by Dr David WilliamsBio-Ken
The document discusses snakebite management in remote areas of Papua New Guinea. It describes training courses that teach clinical skills and airway management for snakebite. Rural health workers are being trained extensively in advanced airway techniques. For snakebites in remote facilities, the document recommends applying first aid, treating shock, and providing supportive care including airway management before transporting patients to hospitals capable of definitive treatment. It provides guidance on protocols, resources, and deciding when medical evacuation is necessary to save lives from snakebites in remote locations.
This document discusses snakebite issues in Tanzania. It provides 3 examples of snakebites and discusses the lack of information available about the circumstances and species involved. Most people lack knowledge about snakes and all are believed to be venomous. The Meserani Snake Park clinic sees many bite victims, with puff adders causing over 25% of bites. Better recording of bite data is needed to understand snakebite issues in Tanzania.
Herpetological Museum Specimen Collection by Patrick MalonzaBio-Ken
The document discusses the value of museum preserved specimens for research, education, and conservation. It outlines how specimens are collected from the field, preserved through wet collection methods like chemical fixation, and stored in museum collections. Specimens provide value through enabling studies of community ecology, taxonomy, natural history, and as a reference for other collections. Proper field data collection and preservation techniques help ensure specimens maintain their value over time.
Snakes play an important ecological role but are often feared due to lack of understanding. The document discusses common snakes in Tanzania and Zanzibar, including venomous species like black mambas and puff adders. It provides identifying characteristics and habitats of these snakes, as well as safety advice such as giving snakes distance and seeking expert help for snake encounters at home. The goal is to educate people about living respectfully with snakes in the environment.
A Century of Kenyan Herpetology by Stephen SpawlsBio-Ken
This document summarizes the history of herpetology and reptile conservation in Kenya over the past 100 years. It describes how Arthur Loveridge established the first museum in Nairobi in 1914 and helped start formal herpetological study. It outlines major milestones like the creation of national parks beginning in 1946 and establishment of the snake park at the National Museum in 1959. While progress has been made with field guides, atlases and increased species records, the document calls for more fieldwork to improve knowledge of distributions, new species discoveries, and conservation of rare endemic species found outside protected areas.
The document is a quiz about snakes with 8 multiple choice or short answer questions. It asks about the California state snake (rattlesnake), the snake associated with Egypt (cobra), the longest and biggest snakes (anaconda and boa respectively), the types of cobras (African, king, spitting), a good pet snake (ball python), a non-venomous snake (rat snake), and which would win in a fight between a cobra and rat snake (cobra).
Snakes and Snake-bite in Southern Africa by Johan MaraisBio-Ken
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Snakes come in a wide variety including both dangerous and beneficial types. They play an important role in ecosystems by controlling rodent populations. While some snakes can pose a danger, most are not aggressive and the majority of snake bites are due to accidental encounters. Some snakes also provide benefits to humans through uses in medicine, food, clothing and as pets. It is important to appreciate snakes as part of nature and avoid harming them without cause.
Few snakes are poisonous and those found in North Carolina include garden snakes, grass snakes, corn snakes, copperhead snakes, and mountain rattlesnakes. Snakes have eyes for seeing at night, a tongue as their primary sensory organ for smell, scales that determine their pattern, and molt their skin. While it is difficult to determine the sex of a snake based on patterning or color, corn snakes lay eggs that hatch into baby corn snakes in 70 days using an egg tooth to break out of the shell.
Snakes are found all over India in a variety of habitats. There are over 30 species of snakes in India, of which around 250 are poisonous. The four most dangerous snakes in India are the Common Krait, Indian Spectacled Cobra, Indian Monocled Cobra, and Russell's Viper. Snake bites can be fatal depending on the species, amount of venom injected, and health of the victim. Prevention methods include avoiding contact with snakes and reducing their habitat in and around homes and buildings. Proper first aid and rapid medical treatment are important in the event of a venomous snake bite.
This document discusses poisonous snakes and snake envenomation in Sri Lanka. It begins by classifying snakes as either poisonous or non-poisonous. The six highly poisonous snakes in Sri Lanka are identified as the Common Krait, Ceylon Cobra, Russell's Viper, Saw-scaled Viper, Green Pit Viper, and Hump-nosed Viper. These snakes are categorized based on their venom composition and the systemic effects of their bites. First aid procedures and hospital treatment protocols for snake bites are outlined. Prevention methods like wearing protective footwear and being cautious of where one steps are recommended to avoid encounters with snakes.
There are approximately 2,700 species of snakes worldwide, of which around 300 are venomous. Snakes range in habitat from deserts to forests to oceans. The most deadly snakes are the Black Mamba, Common Krait, Russell's Viper, Taipan, and Indian Cobra. These snakes have potent neurotoxins or cardiotoxins in their venom that can prove fatal if not treated.
Presentation on snake bites and first aid. A comprehensive presentation on snake bite and the emergency response to it. Also cover precautions - how to avoid snake bites in the field. Useful for campers, doctors, students etc...
Snake bites are a major public health issue in India, with estimates of 200,000 bites and 15,000-20,000 deaths annually. The document discusses the epidemiology, types of venomous snakes, clinical effects of envenomation, and management of snake bites. Management involves first aid measures like immobilization of the bite area, administration of antivenom serum, and supportive care. Antivenom serum is most effective when given within 4 hours of the bite to neutralize the venom, and mechanical ventilation may be needed if respiratory failure occurs from neurotoxic or systemic effects of the venom.
Amid the constant barrage of distractions and dwindling motivation, self-discipline emerges as the unwavering beacon that guides individuals toward triumph. This vital quality serves as the key to unlocking one’s true potential, whether the aspiration is to attain personal goals, ascend the career ladder, or refine everyday habits.
