Toddler, 2, bites cobra to death after venomous snake attacks him
- A toddler was bitten by a cobra in his Bettiah residence after it entered his home and coiled around his hands, then received treatment and was discharged from hospital.
- Amid heavy monsoon downpours, wildlife experts warn such encounters may rise as habitat disruptions and flooding push snakes into human settlements.
- Following the bite, medical teams at GMCH Bettiah reported his condition as stable under observation, after he was referred from Majhauliya Primary Health Centre, where he fainted from mild venom effects.
- In the incident's aftermath, Saurabh Kumar said, `'Timely treatment saved Govinda's life,'` and the child's survival stunned the local community.
- With more than two-thirds of snakebite fatalities in eight states including Bihar, cobras are among the country's deadliest venomous species, experts say.
