What to do when a snake bites you


Cobras can be recognised by their famous and unmistakable hoods, which flare when they are agitated. The hood is actually an extension of the ribs behind their heads.

The other day, I opened the cupboard, and to my shock, a cobra was curled up in there! I had the presence of mind to shut the cupboard door on it. Thereafter, I quickly called the fire department to remove it. A cobra’s bite is very poisonous, right?

Yes. There are three types of venomous snakes in Malaysia: the cobra, the pit viper and the sea snake.
