Snakebites are dangerous because venom can damage nerves, blood, muscles, or organs, leading to problems like breathing difficulty, uncontrolled bleeding, or severe swelling. Survivors may also face serious injuries requiring surgery, including loss of tissue or limbs, as well as often-overlooked mental health effects such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress.
