If a snake chases you, how do you escape?

Snakes are a deadly species. If we look at the figures released every year, millions of people have lost their lives due to snake bites. Even those who say they are brave will be scared for at least a moment seeing a snake. We hear many ways to escape from snakes every day.

If a snake is chasing you, you should not run straight but should run in a ‘S’ shape. Let's examine if this is true. Snake expert Keith Taylor has responded to a national media in this regard. He says that if a snake is chasing you, you should run in an 'S' shape. He says that it's just a misconception that you have to run in an ‘S’ shape if the snake chases you.

Taylor explained that snakes try to attack people if they are annoyed. He also explained what to do if you come in front of a snake. If you see a snake, don’t panic. Back away slowly. He said that if you do this, you can somehow escape from a snake bite. The chances are the snake will retreat on its own. Taylor said snakes are not aggressive. Taylor added that cobras and krait are not dangerous and attacks only to defend themselves from situations. He also told the media that if you are bitten by a snake, you should seek immediate medical treatment.
