Some 20,000 people are bitten by snakes annually in Kenya, with an estimated 4,000 deaths and 7,000 cases of permanent health complications, according to the Institute of Primate Research (IPR) Kenya. Antivenoms are usually imported from other countries, but most are region-specific — meaning they do not work effectively in Kenya. Scientists are now working on developing local antivenoms to reduce deaths from snakebites. (AP) | VOA Africa
