Manifestly disappointed that some so-called #snakebite experts continue to propagate myths, rumors and fallacies, and remain blissfully unaware that they are doing so. #factsnotfiction #FactChecking #FactsMatter

The more time I invest into understanding the problem of #snakebite the more I'm realising I know very little. The problem is very diverse with its roots embedded into the institutional gaps. This highlights the need for preventive measures which are often underfunded.

Reducing the burden of snakebite envenoming depends on effective community engagement to change steadfastly held views and perceptions. WHO wants to hear about key challenges/barriers from community activists, health promotion experts and stakeholders: eventbrite.com/e/informal-sna…

"#Disability is not being addressed as part of the #snakebite agenda in any country of the world. We need to recognize the fact that disability is perhaps the more important outcome in snakebite envenoming than death itself." - @toxinologist @WHO #IDPWD #IDPWD2021
