When I went to my village I spoke to a woman who goes for daily wages to farms. She told me last year she lost three toes because of a snake bite. I asked her why she doesnt wear boots. She said boots are too heavy, we cannot work with that in wet fields whole day. That answer stayed with me. Paddy and wet fields are where most dangerous snakes hide and farmers go barefoot. Boots exist but they are not suitable. Why not a flexible sock kind of thing made from good snake resistant material, affordable enough for daily wage farmers. Light to wear, strong enough to protect.
