On June 7, at 2:00 p.m., the 101st Rescue Service received a message from Drohobych Central Hospital №1 that a man born in 1949, a resident of Drohobych, was admitted to the intensive care unit with a diagnosis of a snake bite on his left foot.
The condition of the victim is stably severe.
The Main Directorate of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in Lviv Oblast warns residents of the oblast to be careful and attentive when going to the forest or nature.
If you accidentally see a reptile next to you – do not panic, do not approach and do not make sudden movements, and calmly move away.
Reptiles have poor eyesight and hearing, but their bodies are very good at capturing the vibrations of the earth at a distance of 10-15 meters.
Be careful where you can meet reptiles: tall grass, bushes, forest. When going to the forest, it is better to wear high, thick shoes that the snake will not bite.
