Abstract
Snakebite is a prevalent cause of morbidity and mortality in rural India. There is a great unawareness among the general public about this important occupational hazard and timely intervention like anti-snake venom. Furthermore, there is a confusion among primary health centre workers about the management due to various Western guidelines which are difficult to follow in the Indian setting. Knowledge about its prevention, avoiding harmful first aid measures, and having proper guidelines for its management can help in timely proper intervention and saving lives. Hence, here, we present a short review on types of snakes, clinical features, guidelines of management (based on Indian protocols), and its prevention.
