Not knowing it climb my gas gage and entered in-between the two slides. I couldn't use my kitchen for weeks cuz of fear. And I always close my toilet bowl. God help us."

"My brother was bitten by snake last year august in his farm, he took himself to where he could get medication, he even went to two different herbal place because it happened in the village, he was getting better oo, like he drives himself every day to the place he is receiving treatment but he collapsed after 4days, we looked for anti venom but we couldn’t see, they succeeded in getting one but he later d!ed."
@mr_marcusk said:
"I think they probably went to LAUTECH teaching hospital in Osogbo and not the main Campus in Ogbomosho. It's not possible to go that distance and you would still be alive at their arrival. And I think it was brown cobra that bit you. They can pump much venom at a bite and also tropical to those South Western hinterland."
