Snakes are known for their hissing, slithering, and unfortunately biting nature. Each year, these reptiles bite an estimated 5.4 million people, causing an alarming number of deaths, ranging from 81,000 to 138,000 deaths.

The study warns that climate change could lead to habitat loss for many venomous snake species by 2070, potentially increasing risks to human life. Countries like India, Uganda, and Kenya may face heightened snake bite incidents.

The Banded Krait (Bungarus fasciatus), also known as the Indian krait, is a venomous species of snake found in India and other parts of Southeast Asia.
