These are the comments I come to the EA Forum for!
It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve seen the WHO reports on snakebites get something blatantly wrong. If I recall correctly, they accidentally flipped a figure for percentage of people who couldn’t afford treatment in the Bangladesh study.
Did you look into the Indian one million death’s study? As far as I remember, that was the study which led WHO to revise their previous global estimate of 50k, as it found 50k annual deaths to snakebites in India alone.
If you have, I’d be curious to get your take on how much weight to put on it. My understanding is that if not for this study, WHO’s estimate would be around what you arrived at.
