1,00,000 people are killed by snake bites each year worldwide.

A mother and her three-year-old daughter have been killed in India after the woman was bitten by a snake.Not realising she had been attacked, the woman began breastfeeding her child. Both died before they could reach a hospital.The news comes the same day as the World Health Organization declared snake bites a "global health priority". Between 81,000 and 138,000 people are killed by snake bites each year, with around half of all deaths in India.
