Venomous snakebite is "the biggest public health crisis you've never heard of," said former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan as he was working to get the issue onto the global health agenda in 2015. Each year, roughly 140,000 people die from snakebite 'envenoming' (basically, when a venomous snake delivers venom into the body through a bite or spray).

Last week, Marco Rubio said no one has died from USAID cuts and "No children are dying on my watch." This mother begs to differ, and researchers suspect there are tens to hundreds of thousands more stories like hers. https://t.co/9iwVpdd8Tk
