Recent snake bite incidents in Sharqiya Governorate have sparked concern, especially as the rising temperatures during the summer sees an increase in the appearance of reptiles near residential and agricultural areas.
As snakes search for cooler places and sources of water and food, likelihood of contact with humans has risen.
This necessitates taking preventative measures to reduce risks and avoid being bitten.
Professor Tavakkul Iskandarov, who holds a doctorate in biology, explained that all areas are fully affected by human activity.
Currently, populated backyards, recreational areas, and production areas have become places where snakes are found.
This does not mean that their numbers are increasing, but rather that human contact with them is increasing compared to the past, according to the Asian website “Modern.”
Why are snake bites rising?
With rising temperatures, snakes often approach residential areas in search of water and cooler places.
Gardens, sewers, and water storage areas, are attractive to snakes because they offer refuge from the intense heat.
Some non-venomous snakes may hiss and act aggressively, but they don’t possess a venomous system that poses a danger to humans.
Most snake species, such as striped snakes, white-finned snakes, and others, are non-venomous, but caution is still advised.
Snakes and current heatwave
Entomologist Vijayakumar Balathur explained that when the surrounding environment dries out, snakes naturally move towards areas with water and shade, according to the Asianet Newsable website.
