There are interesting comments by a college Head of Zoology and it is well worth a read if you are interested in this topic.

I have just been reading this article where a Nepalese worker has died from a snake bite whilst working in paddy fields in the Punjab region of India.

Another sad example of death by snake bite to the people of Nepal.
