How to Survive a Cobra Attack 

Surviving a cobra attack can be a real squeeze. This will be a shorter post, but very informative.

To begin, we will make a list of things you can do if you see one.

• Back away if you see a cobra in the grass. They usually warn by rearing up before they strike

Wear tall boots and large socks. This may help deflect the bite.

• Be careful when hiking in tall grass and around rocks. These are prime sunning spots for the snake.

Now it's time for some fun facts!

• Cobras only inhabit Indonesia, Australia, and some of South America
• Their venom can kill within fifteen minutes
• Their neck bares out as a warning sign, so watch for it

Now, the only thing you can do if you do get bitten is stay calm. A pounding heart spreads the venom. Send another person for help.
