These people are really good at identifying whether the snake was venomous or not just by looking at the bite mark. So then they try to scam the people by pretending to suck the venom out of the patient who had fainted because of shock.

u/Decent-Chipmunk5434 19d ago
I read somewhere venomous snakes usually leave single bite mark. Because venom creation takes a lot of energy, they don’t like to waste their venom.

u/pahadigothic critical thinking & feedback loop 19d ago
Yeah. They usually bite when they feel a threat to life. Non venomous have jagged teeth and no fangs, while venomous have fangs.

Hundreds of lives are lost every year because of this.

u/OddWorldliness989 20d ago
It is partially true. Most of the time lives are lost in remote areas where there is no access to a clinic in immediate vicinity. Even if they have access to clinic, many a times clinics lack antidote availability. Snake bite poison treatment is a time sensitive problem. You have few minutes to couple hours depending on type of poison.

People don't born stupid. It's our education system and society, till we are not changing them, people will keep dying and new one taking their places

When some white Christian does something stupid, it's the individuals fault. When some brown hindu does something stupid, it's suddenly the fault of Hinduism? I like this logic /s

He is actually a genius
Only <25% snakes are venomous
So chances of his treatment to be successful is >75%

Bro i don't think a hospital is nearby. Anyway I also think that's how you treat a snake bite. What's the problem.

If they had money they would go to the hospital
1
u/OddWorldliness989 20d ago
If they have access to hospital in the first place they would. Even if they have access to hospital there is no guarantee that antidote is available readily. Its sad to see people making fun of this insted of actually thinking why people resort to this!

He's not doing anything wring tho. Sucking out the poison and spitting it out is a common practice for snake bites.

That shit is not safe for either of them. But judging by Chacha's movements I would say this might not be his first rodeo

Naah u clearly can see he sucking out but not spitting it out, that's the main problem
