Woman Accidentally Feeds Her Baby With Poisoned Breast Milk After Being Beaten By Snake

A mother and her daughter have suffered a tragic fate after the woman was bitten by a snake and went on to feed the child the poisoned breast milk.

Police have revealed on Friday that an Indian woman who was bitten by a snake in her sleep, unknowingly breastfed poisoned milk to her daughter.
Sadly, she has died along with the child.
According to the Agence France Presse, AFP, the 35-year-old woman from Uttar Pradesh state did not realise she had been bitten when she woke and breastfed her daughter.
The three-year-old girl and the mother fell ill on Thursday and both died before they could reach hospital, Police inspector Vijay Singh told AFP.
The family spotted the snake in another room but the creature escaped.
A post-mortem is to be carried out, but Police have registered a case of accidental death, the officer added.
India is home to some 300 snake species and 60 are highly venomous, including the Indian cobra, krait, Russell’s viper and saw-scaled viper.
India accounts for 46,000 of the 100,000 snake bite deaths around the world each year, according to a 2011 study by the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
