Ethnobotanical Survey and Documentation of Medicinal Plants Used to Manage Snakebite Envenomation in Nyatike Subcounty, Migori County, Kenya

The study highlights the extensive use of medicinal plants for SBE management in Nyatike subcounty due to the limitations associated with accessing conventional antivenom. These plants may offer promising leads for the development of plant-based antivenoms, either as complementary or as alternative therapies to current treatments. Further research is necessary to isolate the bioactive compounds present in these plants, assess their safety profiles, and evaluate their antivenom potential.

Abstract

The study highlights the extensive use of medicinal plants for SBE management in Nyatike subcounty due to the limitations associated with accessing conventional antivenom. These plants may offer promising leads for the development of plant-based antivenoms, either as complementary or as alternative therapies to current treatments. Further research is necessary to isolate the bioactive compounds present in these plants, assess their safety profiles, and evaluate their antivenom potential.
