🆘🆘🆘🆘Hello sir, this is an IMPORTANT video. But I live in a proper village area from where hospital is very far and there is no proper transport system in emergency. And sadly my grandmother was also died for the bite of COMMON CRATE snake, biting of which is as minimal as an ant, so it was ignored first. Then when the symptoms came there was no transport, even worse when they took her to the hospital then also she was alive but the anti venom was not available there because they sell the anti venoms to the nearby reputed pharmacy, then also my father tried to contact the pharmacy owner and managed to get the ASV to the hospital from the pharmacy but then SHE was no we live in the same place still now which I was talking about previously, same place with the exact same bad emergency care but snakes are on other hand coming to the human living area as there is lack of their habitat. I don't want any other person in my family or in others, in my village or in other suffer this. SO I wanted to know if it is possible to monitor the antibenom by own in case of emergency. If yes then please tell me the process, symptoms to be monitored and the other minute details related to it. I am from a small village in West Bengal.... thank you
