A 54-year-old woman was bitten by a venomous snake while looking for herbs in Mahayag Norte in Catigbian town.
It happened Tuesday at around 8 a.m.
Aniceta Sapid was gathering herbs for her grandchild who has cough, she accidentally stepped on the snake.
She said she felt something sharp hit her.
“I thought it was a stick, and when I looked down, I saw it was a snake,” she said.
She sought help from an “albularyo” but she decided to seek medical help at Governor Celestino Gallares Memorial Hospital in Tagbilaran where she was given anti-venom.
She is now recuperating at the hospital.
