abstract="Fifty-four consultations regarding bites by venomous snakes not native to the United States are summarized. These are from a database of 164 consultations during the period 1977- 1995. At least 29 non-native snake species were involved with cobras making up -40% of the group. There was one fatality. A high percentage of venomous snakebites in the United States involve deliberate interaction with snakes. The proportion of bites by non-native species seems to be increasing. Some of the snake species involved are discussed, and some principles for management of these bites are given.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
