dies from antidote, not snake bite
Monday 30th April 2001 A photographer who was bitten by a viper he was trying to capture on film, has died after developing an allergic reaction to the antidote. The 37-year-old was bitten on both hands when he went too close to the snake while trying to photograph it in a forest, near Vasarosnameny in Hungary. The man, who has not been named, had gone to the woods to find one of the snakes and had prepared beforehand by getting a supply of the antidote. He was one of a small number of people who are found to be severely allergic to the antidote and died minutes after taking it.
