Climate change is causing venomous snakes to shift their habitats across India, potentially increasing snakebite risk in previously safe regions. Northern and central India are identified as areas likely to see more encounters, necessitating climate-aware public health planning. This redistribution of snake species highlights the significant impact of warming temperatures on wildlife and human safety.
