MANAGEMENT
SNAKE BITE
If a venomous snake bites you, call 911 or your local emergency
number immediately, especially if the bitten area changes color, begins
to swell or is painful. Many emergency rooms stock antivenom drugs,
which may help you.
SYMPTOMS
 Signs or symptoms of a snake bite may vary
depending on the type of snake, but may include:
• Puncture marks at the wound
• Redness, swelling, bruising, bleeding, or blistering around the bite
• Severe pain and tenderness at the site of the bite
• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea
• Laboured breathing (in extreme cases, breathing may stop altogether)
• Rapid heart rate, weak pulse, low blood pressure
• Disturbed vision
• Metallic, mint, or rubber taste in the mouth
• Increased salivation and sweating
• Numbness or tingling around face and/or limbs
• Muscle twitching
First Aid
 Lay or sit down with the bite in a neutral
position of comfort.
 Remove rings and watches before swelling
starts.
 Wash the bite with soap and water.
 Cover the bite with a clean, dry dressing.
Do NOT do any of the following:
• Do not pick up the snake or try to trap it. NEVER handle a venomous snake, not even a
dead one or its decapitated head.
• Do not wait for symptoms to appear if bitten, get medical help right away.
• Do not apply a tourniquet.
• Do not slash the wound with a knife or cut it in any way.
• Do not try to suck out the venom.
• Do not apply ice or immerse the wound in water.
• Do not drink alcohol as a painkiller.
• Do not take pain relievers (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen).
• Do not apply electric shock or folk therapies.
THANK
YOU
