NAIROBI, March 24 (Xinhua) -- In Ikanga village, located in Kenya's Kitui County, 42-year-old farmer Agnes Mwikali vividly recalls the searing pain she felt when she accidentally stepped on a puff adder, one of Kenya's most venomous snakes.
Without immediate medical care, she turned to traditional remedies, which offered little relief. By the time she reached the nearest health center, more than 30 kilometers away, her leg was swollen and discolored. Though she survived, she now walks with a limp.
