On April 23, at 8:40 p.m., the rescuers received a message that a man, born in 1957, a resident of Brody, Zolochiv district, was admitted to the Brodivsk Central City Hospital with a diagnosis of a snake bite on the right hand.
After the examination and provision of medical assistance by the employees of the medical institution, the man refused further hospitalization.
The head office of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Lviv region warns the residents of the region to be careful and attentive when going into the forest or nature.
If you accidentally see a reptile next to you, do not panic, do not approach or make sudden movements, but calmly move away.
Reptiles have poor vision and hearing, but with their body they very well pick up the vibrations of the ground at a distance of 10-15 meters.
Be careful in places where you can meet reptiles: tall grass, bushes, forest. When going into the forest, it is better to wear high, tight shoes that will not be bitten by a snake.
