[11] [8] Problems are often more severe in children than adults, due to their smaller size. [3] [12] [13] Allergic reactions to snake venom can further complicate outcomes and can include anaphylaxis, requiring additional treatment and in some cases resulting in death. [11] Snakes bite both as a method of hunting and as a means of protection. [14]
