It has been estimated that 7,000–8,000 people per year receive venomous bites in the United States, and only five of those people die. Most fatal bites are attributed to the eastern and western diamondback rattlesnake while some bites are cause by exotic snakes as well, such as the Malaysian king cobra in this specific case.
I was standing next to Albert when the attack occurred. The twelve foot long king cobra just jammed its fangs into Albert’s left arm and like most cobras, it held on and pump as much venom into the victim’s body as possible. A friend jumped in, grabbed the king behind its head, forcefully remove it from Albert’s arm and throw the snake back in its cage (you can even see in this video the damage around the actually bite marks). We than hurried to our cars to get him to the nearest hospital. Meanwhile Albert remained calm and massaged his left arm from the shoulder downward to squeeze as much venom out of his body as possible. It seemed to work because a substantial amount of umber colored venom oozing out of the two bite makes.
Fortunately, we where able to stop a passing police car and the officer drove Albert to the Homestead Hospital while contacting the anti venom unit simultaneously to get the needed antivenin delivered to the same location. I didn’t entered the hospital but called Albert an hour later. Unexpectedly he picked up the phone and in a slurred voice he told me not to worry because the bite was not my fault. Well, damn sure it was not my fault that he got bitten by his king. Regardless, I kept quiet, wondering if his hallucination were in correlation with the symptoms of a king cobra bite… This interview with snake expert Albert Killian was filmed by Heiko Kiera in South Florida in 2008.
