India's snakes are the most deadly in the world, killing 50,000 people every year. One of the world's top experts in snake bites is Ian Simpson, a retired British economist, who loves snakes so much that he has emigrated to India to be near them and help look after their victims.
Recently he discovered a new venomous Indian snake, to add to four already known. Jolyon Jenkins meets him and his reptiles.
