“…Yet, envenomation is rare and poorly documented. 6,7 Clinical cases: Two boys (A, a 16-y-old, and B, a 13-y-old) were bitten while handling adult Montpellier snakes in southeast France, in April 2018 and in February 2021, respectively. The snake's species was identified in the field by experienced professional herpetologists.…”

“…However, 2 reports from Spain (1979) and France (2007) described severe clinical signs of envenomation, including neurological disorders affecting cranial nerves (eg, ptosis, difficulty swallowing, dyspnea, trouble focusing) combined with extensive swelling. 6,7 In the first case, a man was bitten on the hand. In the second case, the victim was envenomed when he put his finger…”

“…However, a recent study provided formal evidence of mild coagulopathy in envenomations caused by H angulatus. 7 Another study 8 identified clinical manifestations in bites caused by Helicops, Hydrops, and Philodryas that were treated at the Juruá Regional Hospital, Acre state, Brazil. Envenomation caused by Hydrops triangularis bites caused nonspecific symptoms, such as vomiting, headache, and local pain.…”

The sole treatment for snakebite envenomation (SBE), the anti-snake venom (ASV), suffers from considerable drawbacks, including side effects and limited species specificity. Additionally, despite its existence for more than a century, uniform availability of good quality ASV does not yet exist. The present review describes the journey of a SBE victim and highlights the global crisis of SBE management. A detailed analysis of the current ASV market has also been presented along with the worldwide snake distribution. The current production of country specific licensed ASV throughout the globe along with their manufacturers has been examined at the snake species level. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of on-ground situation of SBE management in antivenom manufacturing countries has been done using the most recent literature. Additionally, the export and import of different ASVs have been discussed in terms of procurement policies of individual countries, their shortcomings, along with the possible solution at the species level. It is interesting to note that in most countries, the existence of ASV is really either neglected or overstated, implying that it is there but unsuitable for use, or that it is not present but can be obtained from other countries. This highlights the urgent need of significant reassessment and international collaborations not just for development and production, but also for procurement, distribution, availability, and awareness. A PROMISE (Practical ROutes for Managing Indigenous Snakebite Envenoming) approach has also been introduced, offering simple, economical, and easy to adopt steps to efficiently alleviate the worldwide SBE burden.
