Most Snake Bite Fatalities
Understand most snake bite fatalities: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.
Snakebite mortality is difficult to measure where people die outside formal healthcare systems. Hospital records can miss cases, while models depend on assumptions and available surveys. A total reflects both exposure and population size; a rate provides another comparison. Uncertainty ranges are especially important here and should not disappear behind a neat top-ten list.
