It is estimated that approximately 5.4 million people worldwide are heated each year, and 1.8 to 2.7 million of these suffer from poisoning. In Turkey, most snakes belong to the Viperidae family, and species such as the Artvin viper (Vipera kaznakovi) can pose serious health risks, especially in rural and forest areas. This can be found, the case of a 36-year-old foreign male who was bitten by a snake on his left lower extremity while picking tea and died the next day was examined and reported with autopsy ability. Laboratory test results show hemodynamic deterioration and changes in renal capacity, as well as autopsy confirming multiple organ damage and complement death due to snakebite. In such cases, simple treatment to prevent snakebite as well as rapid access to healthcare will reduce rates.
