Depending on your location and circumstances, cold weather, pollutants, pet dander, etc. are a more likely culprits than the snake bite in inducing asthma. Normally, respiratory exposure to allergens will yield the symptoms associated with asthma. However, NSAIDS have been known to provoke asthma in some patients. Is it possible that the snakebite induced the allergic reaction? I suppose, but there is probably a more mundane reason for the asthma symptoms. Formally, this is known as a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy - after this, therefore because of this.
