Think about the fact that some people have severe reactions to snake bites because they are allergic to the venom.
What to do if you think a snake bit you:
Don't risk getting bitten again; leave the area immediately. If you can, prod the snake with a stick or anything similar to see if it will escape its confinement.
Those who have been bitten by a sea snake should be taken to higher ground immediately.
Edema can be made worse by jewelry, so take off your anklets, bracelets, and rings if you've been bitten.
Many people get bitten by snakes, although most of them are harmless.
However, most people do not die instantly after being bitten by a poisonous snake.
The injured limb should be immobilized with a splint and given plenty of rest.
They are carried on a makeshift stretcher to the closest spot where an ambulance can pick them up.
An excessive amount of tourniquet pressure on the arteries might be fatal.
Those who must be bitten should only do so by neurotoxic snakes that do not induce localized edema.
In extremely unusual circumstances, a pressure pad placed directly to the bite site may be all that's needed.
In the event of an injury, seek professional medical attention immediately.
When a snake bites, its venom seeps into the wound and causes excruciating pain and, in many cases, death.
Venom from some snakes can paralyze prey or possibly kill them due to the compounds it contains.
Signs of a potentially fatal bite include pain, swelling, bruising, or bleeding at the bite site.
