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.
Snake expert George Van Horn survived two king cobra bites but almost died due to medical malpractice in 1995. I visited George at his Reptile World Serpentarium in St Cloud and recorded this short but revealing interview in 2013.
