Typhoon Maysak floods Guangxi, snakes escape into waters

Snakes have escaped into floodwaters after Typhoon Maysak destroyed a breeding farm in Hengzhou, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

According to media reports, a woman bitten by a snake died on Wednesday due to delayed medical treatment caused by traffic congestion.

In response to the snake escape, local authorities urgently increased snake antivenom supplies. Current supplies are sufficient to meet emergency treatment needs.
