Specialists' SOS for vipers...
It is recalled that a 75-year-old man, also from Limassol, ended up in the intensive care unit at the end of April after being bitten by a finch. The man after surgery and treatments a few days ago was discharged from the ICU, after his condition showed significant improvement.
Experts are sounding the alarm to citizens as the increase in temperature, brought the reptiles to the "siren".
Those making excursions especially in mountains are advised to dress appropriately and wear protective boots to avoid being bitten by poisonous snakes.
