AMMAN — Jordanian snake expert Asad Al-Jizaawi revealed that
around 400 cases of snake and scorpion bites have been recorded among citizens
in various regions of the kingdom in 2023.
Jizaawi stated that the majority of snakebite cases recorded
this year occurred in the northern governates of Jordan, Al-Saa News reported.
These 400 bite cases resulted in the deaths of 10
individuals, including 3 from the Civil Defense personnel.
Jizaawi told Al-Saa News that most of the bite cases were
caused by the "Palestinian viper," which has spread in Jordan over
the past few years.
He warned Jordanians of the increased snake presence during
this period, as they are searching for food before entering the snake winter
hibernation season.
