“Exploring Sociodemographic Trends Among Snakebite Victims: An Observational Study"

Abstract

Introduction: Snakebites present a significant health threat, particularly in regions where
human and snake habitats overlap. In India, a high incidence of snakebites is observed in rural
areas due to farming practices and urbanization displacing wildlife. Although only a fraction
of snake species are venomous, they can cause severe medical emergencies requiring prompt
treatment. This study aims to explore the sociodemographic profile of new snakebite cases in
Gujarat.
