The BBC had an article on snakebites a few days ago. It states "Snakes get closer to humans and cause more damage and more deaths than any other venomous animal, including spiders, scorpions and jellyfish. Each year, up to five million people worldwide are estimated to be bitten by snakes. Out of those, around 100,000 die and 400,000 are left disabled or disfigured by their injuries. But the numbers could be even larger - because many of the worst-affected countries don't keep data on snakebites and research into this problem is scarce."
