Aung San Suu Kyi has thanked people for coming out to the big National League for Democracy rally in Thingyangun Township yesterday, but she should reserve a special shout out for one supporter who was bitten by a snake while waiting in the crowd.
The woman, whom a rescue worker said was 50 years old, was rushed to a nearby hospital after the bite.
Aung Nay Lin from the Free Funeral Services Society (FFSS), a volunteer medical group, said the hospital was able to administer treatment and she recovered just fine. It’s unclear if the snake was poisonous.
Despite the large crowds, there were only a handful of reported injuries yesterday, including a Japanese national who badly injured his knee, according to FFSS.
