Civil Hospital in Mohali is reporting an increase in snakebite cases, particularly those involving krait snakes, as heavy monsoon rains create a more conducive environment for these reptiles.
The monsoon season in Mohali has brought with it an increased risk of snakebites, with a notable surge in cases involving krait snakes reported at the local Civil Hospital.
Authorities are observing a correlation between the heavy rainfall and the heightened activity of these venomous reptiles. The damp conditions and increased water bodies are believed to be attracting snakes, including kraits, closer to residential areas.
As a result, the Civil Hospital has seen a rise in patients presenting with snakebite symptoms. Medical staff are on alert to manage these cases, emphasizing the need for public awareness and caution during this period.
