Snakebite
 
Description 491-505
Snakebite is an occupational hazard that has affected the population in tropical and subtropical countries. Worldwide
approximately 5.4 million bites, 2.7 million envenomations, and 81,000-1,38,000 deaths are observed per annum. The
incidences are higher among farmers and plantation workers. Antivenom is the only treatment available and the production
of the same is challenging due to geographical variation of snakes, storage conditions, and non-availability of venom for
production. Antivenom therapy is associated with immediate or delayed hypersensitivity and does not prevent local tissue
damage. Thus the search for medicinal plants by the scientific community has become relevant. The ethnobotanical studies
on various plants have revealed their use to treat various ailments including snakebite. Hence, the review is aimed to amass
the medicinal plants studied and also emphasize various components isolated that have shown promising results.
