2.10.0 FIRST AID FOR SNAKE BITES
Should
you be bitten by sakes, it is essential to get emergency treatment as
quickly as possible. However, there are some tips that you should also
keep in mind.
 Note the time of the bite
 Keep calm and still as movement can cause the venom to travel faster quickly through the body.
 Remove constricting cloths or jewelry because the area surrounding the bite will likely swell.
 Don’t allow the victim to walk carry or transport them by vehicle.
 Do not kill or handle the snake, take a picture of it if you can, but don’t waste time hunting it down
2.10.1 FIRST AID MYTHS
There are also several outdated techniques that are now believed to be unhelpful or harmful:
 Do not use a tourniquet
 Do not cut into the snake bite
 Do not use a cold compress on the bite
 Do not give any medication unless directed by a doctor or as instructed laboratory test. (Clotting time WBCT20)
 Do not raise the area of the bite above the victim’s heart
 Do not attempt to suck the venom out by mouth
 Do not use a pump suction device.

devices were formed recommended for pumping out snake venom but it’s
now believed that they more likely to do harm than good
