- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could create accurate risk maps to guide antivenom supplies and prevention programs in high-risk areas of sub-Saharan Africa.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The risk maps may not perfectly predict snakebite locations, and results may not apply to other regions.
