Hi!

Some useful information: Guidelines for the Prevention and Clinical Management of Snakebite in Africa.

The document is just over 4mb, so was unable to attach the file, but have included the link below.

A database and image library has been created by WHO to enable users to easily identify the most important venomous snakes in their country, territory or area; see the distributions of each species; and find information about antivenom products for treating envenoming caused by their bites.

The database is accessible from the Database search option in the left hand site navigation menu.
