"The vast majority of snakebites to humans are defensive responses," according to Jackson."Having said this, there are exceptions. In some regions—including in India and sub-Saharan Africa, both of which have major snakebite challenges—there are species of snake that occasionally bite people when they are sleeping."
"Cobras are among the snakes known to occasionally bite people in this manner, although in India it is typically kraits that are the culprits," Jackson said. Not every snake bite contains a lethal dose of venom. A local snake expert in Jashpur, Qaiser Hussain, told thenewspaper that the cobra had given Deepak a"dry bite," meaning no venom was injected.
To avoid snakebites, Jackson said, people should be aware of the species living in their area and"know enough about their ecology in order to manage interactions.... Not attempting to catch or kill snakes is also important.
