A snakebite is an injury caused by the venomous or non-venomous bite of a snake. It can result in various symptoms and complications, ranging from mild discomfort to life-threatening conditions, depending on the snake species and the amount of venom injected. Snake venom is a toxic substance produced by certain species of snakes. It contains a mixture of proteins, enzymes, peptides, and toxins that can be injected into a victim through the snake's fangs. Snake venom serves both as a means to immobilize prey and as a defense mechanism. The specific composition and potency of snake venom can vary between snake species and can have various harmful effects on the bitten individual, including tissue damage, paralysis, and, in some cases, even death. Anti Snake Venom Serum (ASVS) is the only specific treatment available for the Venomous snakebite cases. ASVS comes in two forms: Lyophilized and Liquid form. ASVS can be monovalent or polyvalent. ASVS contains specific antibodies which neutralize the snake venom, when sufficient doses of ASVS injected in the victim’s body. ASVS is lifesaving when victim is bitten by the venomous snake. There is no alternative to ASVS in the current scenario.
