We are trying so hard to save little lives. But #1 cause of death in children 1-19 years is something that seems to be completely out of our control. Nearly 49K Americans died from gun violence in 2021

No tourniquet for snakebites- can cause gangrene. Splint or sling immobilization is the best initial management- to decrease mobility so that absorption of venom is decreased.

Green Pit Viper or White-lipped Pit Viper. Venom has a thrombin-like effect and platelet-aggregating activity causing hypofibrinogenemia and coagulation issues.

Official numbers: > 20K get bitten in Nepal and >1000 die- an underestimation.

There is also evidence of fecal shedding in the stool for several weeks after diagnosis, leading to concern about fecal-oral transmission of the virus, particularly for infants and children who are not toilet-trained, and for viral replication in the gastrointestinal tract.

Prior studies have shown that children from whom coronaviruses are detected from the respiratory tract can have viral co-infections in up to two-thirds of cases.
