How to handle a venomous snake bite to saved your life

News24xx.com - A woman is being praised for the “textbook” way that she handled a snake bit. Auntie Ding was out doing farmwork on the outskirts of Yangzhou in Jiangsu province when she was bitten on the finger by a venomous snake.

Wasting no time, Ding proceeded to beat the snake to death with her hoe and tie up her finger at its base to slow the venom spreading. She then picked up the snake’s body, put it in a bag, and rushed over to the hospital, showing doctors the animal’s body so that they could identify it.
