Two Israelis were reportedly bitten by snakes over the weekend, in Petach Tikvah and Ashdod.
A 60-year-old male was bitten by a snake in Ashdod and transported to hospital in moderate condition. The second case occurred in Petach Tikvah, involving a 15-year-old teen, who was bitten by a Palestinian viper. He was admitted to an intensive care unit in Schneider Children’s Hospital, listed in moderate condition.
Officials recently reported that snake season is upon us and this demands people familiarize themselves with precautions and the appropriate response to an emergency situation.
