On July 28, a 49-year-old man was admitted to Skole Central Hospital with a diagnosis of snake bite to the middle finger of his left hand.
The victim is a citizen of Latvia.
According to doctors, the man’s condition is moderate.
Be careful and attentive when going to the forest or outdoors.
If you accidentally see a reptile near you, do not panic, do not approach it, and do not make sudden movements, but calmly move away.
Reptiles have poor eyesight and hearing, but their bodies are very good at detecting ground vibrations at a distance of 10-15 meters.
Be careful in places where you can meet reptiles: tall grass, bushes, forest. When going into the woods, it is better to wear tall, thick shoes that cannot be bitten by a snake.
