CroatiaIn Slovenia, three venomous snake bites occurred within two days at Blejska Koča. On Sunday, a 75-year-old hiker was bitten on the finger while trying to grab a branch. The next day, during a rest period in the grass, two different venomous snakes bit two 21-year-old foreign hikers, one on the wrist and the other on the finger. Both were transported by helicopter to the Clinical Center in Ljubljana for treatment. According to Toni Smolej, head of the Rescue Service in Radovljica, this level of snake activity has not been seen in over ten years. Experts warn that after a snake bite, it is crucial to seek immediate medical assistance and remain calm. They advise against attempting to suck out the venom, as it can cause further infections and tissue damage. Snake experts emphasize that snakes do not attack humans without reason and recommend using hiking poles and making noise to avoid startling them.
