Palakkad: A nurse at a health sub-centre in Chalissery here was bitten by a snake inside its compound last week, a health official said on Thursday. The official said that the incident occurred on Sunday, August 2, and the nurse was not on duty at that time. "The nurse hails from Thrissur and was staying in a room inside the sub-centre compound. The ground was covered with leaves wet with rainwater and she probably did not see the snake," the official said. The nurse was immediately taken to the hospital and given treatment, she said, adding that her health is stable now.
