Rahul's Bihar Yatra Boosts Congress Confidence Before Polls

Even as Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi concluded his Voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar covering a distance of 1,300 km, the grand old party is buoyed that the yatra has been able to rejuvenate party workers in the state and also showcased its strength ahead of the crucial assembly polls that will increase its bargaining power.

Rahul Gandhi kickstarted his Voter Adhikar Yatra from Bihar's Sasaram on August 17 and covered over 25 districts and more than 120 assembly seats in the state till September 1. The march was also joined by Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav, VIP's Mukesh Sahni and CPI-ML's Dipankar Bhattacharya among others.

AVOIDING AND MANAGING VENOMOUS SNAKE AND OTHER BITES OUTDOORS

Snakebites are a silent global health crisis, claiming an estimated 138,000 fatalities annually, of which 58,000 fatalities, the world's highest, are in India. India hosts over 60 venomous and 240 other snake species. Irula Cooperative Society of tribal snake handlers in Tamil Nadu supplies 80% of the venom for antivenom production in India, a major producer globally. The \"Big Four\" (not by size) venomous Indian snakes are the Russell's viper, saw-scaled viper, Indian cobra, and common krait. Snakes are captured, and venom is carefully extracted before they are released back into the wild. This venom is used to immunize animals like horses or sheep, and the antibodies from their blood are extracted and purified to create antivenom serum (AVS) for human use. These antivenoms are species-specific, costly, difficult to produce, and can provoke dangerous allergic reactions due to the presence of animal antigens. Polyvalent Antivenoms made for these \"Big Four\" do not cover other venomous species like the king cobra, banded Krait, and various pit vipers. Among the numerous Indian antivenom manufacturers, Haffkine Bio-Pharmaceutical Corporation also produces scorpion antivenom. Delayed access to antivenom, poor rural healthcare infrastructure, and transport contribute to a high morbidity (paralysis, bleeding disorders, kidney failure, and amputations) and mortality.
