Monsoon in, snakebite risk up. Even mountain districts are not immune

1,200 snakebite cases have been recorded so far this year. Snakes are climbing altitudes due to climate change.

Last month, a local from Sindhupalchowk district was brought to Sukraraj Tropical and Infectious Disease Hospital to treat a snakebite. Along with the victim, relatives brought the live snake in a bottle to show the doctor as proof.
