What are the characteristics and where is the highest risk of snakebite accidents in the state of São Paulo?
Identifying the most affected population, seasonality, and high-risk areas provides essential support for preventive actions and effective management. The findings can guide efforts towards vulnerable populations, anticipate preventive strategies during high-incidence periods, and optimize resources, such as professional training and antivenom serum distribution in high-risk regions.
