Dr Abubakar Balla, the officer in charge of the centre, disclosed yesterday in Kaltungo that 70 snake bite patients were on admission in the hospital.
Balla said that the hospital admitted 9 to 10 persons daily since the onset of the rains unlike during the dry season when two or three people were treated daily.
“We discharge people daily and admit new ones; the situation is bad, and people need to take precaution because prevention is better than cure.
“Those going to farm should wear boots, hand gloves and hold sticks,” he said.
