Fatal bites from non-venomous snakes

Hi,

I've had a lively discussion recently about bites from non-venomous snakes. Friend of mine found information that a significant number of people die from those bites because they are so convinced that the snake was venomous. I couldn't find any information to prove or disprove that theory. I know that the shock is really great, even if you know that snake is non-venomous, but is it possible that it is lethal? Do you know any statistics? Of course, I am aware that it can happen because somebody can be allergic, have problem with a heart, etc. I'd like to know if it happens on any significant rate, i.e. 40% of all deaths from snakebites is caused by non-venomous snakes.

Thank you!
Rafal
