Anybody ever seen the documentary "Ganges"? They go into one Indian town where people worship snakes and just let cobras slide around town. Apparently, they refuse to treat bites with medecine because they consider them to be a "blessing" and use prayer healing instead. They claim they've never had anybody die from a snake bite in that town.
On a completely unrelated note, 20,000 people per year die in India from snake bites.
