Three people were hospitalized after being bitten by poisonous snakes in southern Serbia, the FoNet news agency reported on Thursday.

Leskovac hospital CEO Nebojsa Dimitrijevic told the agency that an increasing number of people had been seeking medical treatment after being bitten by snakes in the past two weeks.

“We have had six patients with snakebite in the past six days, three of them poisonous,” Dimitrijevic said adding that all the patients were bitten in less populated areas.
