Vulnerable populations, such as agricultural workers, fishermen, child labourers and families residing in poorly constructed housing, are most at risk. The populations most affected by snakebites are often those with limited access to healthcare services and essential medicines. Nearly 7400 people are bitten each day, with 220–380 dying due to about 2.7 million envenomings.&nbsp;It also causes a range of chronic physical and mental disabilities, including blindness, limb amputations and post-traumatic stress disorder.</p>
