Talk:Epidemiology of snakebites

Editing required
I assume that the material in the article is as reliable as such a subject lends itself to being, but much of the text is unclear, even incoherent. I would happily have done some editing, but there was too much that I could make no sense of. For example "Snakebites in Africa are most common in the sub-Saharan countries (scorpion stings are more common in Northern Africa)..." means exactly what, assuming it is relevant at all? Not much better is: "... and typically occur during the rainy season when snakes are more active", which not only is a big generalisation for whichever region is intended, but also fails to make it clear which region that is.

I'd be perfectly happy to assist in tidying this lot up, but then would whoever has undertaken the responsibility for the content please contact me so that we could cooperate instead of contending? JonRichfield (talk) 15:33, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Prevalence map
Is the file File:Number of snake envenomings.svg showing the number of incidents in each particular area without accounting either for differences in the population density of the areas or differences in the geographic sizes of the regions, or is it showing per-capita incidence? If it is per-capita data, what is the scale? (incidents per million people? —BarrelProof (talk) 00:22, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
