WHO reports claim, 100,000 deaths are caused annually by snake poison.

Another UN Agency report quotes that 2.5 million people suffer venomous bites each year.

To tackle the snake bite issue and spread awareness for the same, WHO launched a website on Tuesday.

The website launched lists the appropriate anti venoms and antidotes that can save people's lives from snake bites. It also contains an online database that identifies the snake species and lists the appropriate anti venom.

Who Officials claim that suitable antidotes made from snake's venom itself can save lives, provided the victims are treated in time. They also urge the researches, clinicians, and international, national and regional health organizations to provide updated information and issue proper guidelines on how to tackle snake bites.

According to General Carissa Etienne, WHO Assistant Director, "Many countries have no access to the anti venoms they need. Others use anti venoms that have never been tested against their target snake venom. So often when people get bitten, they can't get the treatment they need."

As per WHO, snake venom experts from regions of Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia are in dire need of the information on anti venoms.

They further insist that snake anti venom information should always be handy as timely action can prevent fatal consequences.
