The oxcuse IS made that they speak only indif- tries for which information is available, with the greatest number of dvaths occurring in Asia. These estimates were made by two statisticians from the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO). This survey Wis undertaken to determine whether snake bite deaths on a global basis con- stitute a problem at world- wide importance. and there- by, a matter of concern to the International health agency. Snake bites in Asia account for some 25.000 to 35.000 deaths. followed by South America with 3,000 to 4.000. North Ampriva including Mexico turns up third with 300 to 500. In the United Fitates vmonmus bites caused 51 deaths in 1950, but a num- bvr of these wm‘r- inflirwtcd by spiders and smrpmns. The last two areas in the survey are Europe with 50 fatalities yvarly and Oreania (Austra' lia and New Zonland) ten. In Africa, the annual figure is believed to he between 400 and I,000.
