Today, I'm bringing you an interesting article about the most venomous snakes all over the world.
The writer said some words about that how snakes are ranked by the toxicity of their venom to mice in standardized laboratory tests. What's more he talked about which is the most deadliest snake in Australia, Africa, and Asia and why they are. Besides that, he mentioned several other fun facts, so it is highly recommended to read it, especially if you live in Australia or Africa or Asia. Some sentences from him: "Does it do any practical good to list venomous snakes by how easily they can kill mice? Of course not — keepers and readers want to know which snakes will kill humans and which ones have repeatedly done so. Today, snakebite deaths are rare in most of North America, Europe, Australia and other areas where outdoor workers wear shoes and homes are not easily invaded by snakes. Australia itself has had only 30 deaths from snakebite in about 20 years, nearly a quarter of which resulted from people trying to kill or handle venomous snakes (usually Pseudonaja species, one of the brown snakes), while there may be more than 50 deaths per million people a year in Sri Lanka and western Africa." - said Jerry G. Walls. If you live one of those three continents, how could you protect yourself (or your love ones) from these snakes? Have you ever been bitten by a snake?
