Snakebite, by the numbers
Snake encounters are more common — and more misunderstood — than most people realize.
Global HealthUp to 2.7 million people are envenomed by snakebite every year
The World Health Organization classifies snakebite as a neglected tropical disease causing as many as 138,000 deaths annually.
Source: WHO
United StatesRoughly 7,000–8,000 venomous bites are reported in the US each year
The CDC notes most bites happen between April and October when people and snakes are both most active outdoors.

IdentificationMost people can't reliably tell venomous from harmless snakes
Misidentification leads to needless panic, harmful folk remedies, and the killing of beneficial non-venomous species.

First AidThe first minutes after a bite are critical
Staying calm, keeping the limb still, and getting accurate ID information to responders dramatically improves outcomes.

WildlifeSnakes are vital to ecosystems — and mostly want to avoid you
The vast majority of snakes are non-venomous and play a key role in controlling rodent and pest populations.

Snakebites worldwide (thousands / year)
An estimated 1.8–2.7 million envenomings happen every year.
People can't tell venomous from harmless
Most people guess wrong when it matters most — FangCheck doesn't.
Illustrative — roughly 8 in 10 casual identifications are uncertain or wrong.
