Snake bites can result in puncture wounds and envenomation. Each year, there are an estimated 5 million snake bites worldwide resulting in 20,000 to 125,000 deaths, primarily in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa. Symptoms vary depending on the snake type but commonly include pain, swelling, and tissue damage at the bite site. Antivenom treatment is often the only effective way to treat envenomation and works by neutralizing venom enzymes, but must be administered as soon as possible after the bite occurs.
