CHILD BITTEN BY A SNAKE

5 year old María de los Ángeles Rodríguez Carpio was bitten by a snake at five in the afternoon this Tuesday in El Cantón Comatepeque, Nejapa, north of San Salvador. The child presented with an injury to the distal part of her right foot and was transported to children’s hospital Benjamin Bloom.  Attending medical doctors determined she was safe and out of danger. It is not known what type of serpent attacked the child yet witnesses report it may have been a coral snake.  Foto: CDS
