If you get bitten by a snake!!!!

 1. Keep the person calm, reassuring them that bites can
      be effectively treated in an emergency room.
  Restrict movement, and keep the affected area below
          heart level to reduce the flow of venom.

2. If you have a pump suction device (such as that made by
        Sawyer), follow the manufacturer's directions.

  3. Remove any rings or constricting items because the
   affected area may swell. Create a loose splint to help
               restrict movement of the area.
If you get bitten by a snake!!!!


  4. If the area of the bite begins to swell and change
         color, the snake was probably poisonous.

5. Monitor the person's vital signs -- temperature, pulse,
  rate of breathing, and blood pressure -- if possible. If
   there are signs of shock (such as paleness), lay the
  person flat, raise the feet about a foot, and cover the
                   person with a blanket.

            6. Get medical help right away.
If you get bitten by a snake!!!!

   7. Bring in the dead snake only if this can be done
safely. Do not waste time hunting for the snake, and do
not risk another bite if it is not easy to kill the snake. Be
 careful of the head when transporting it -- a snake can
  actually bite for up to an hour after it's dead (from a
                            reflex).
If you get bitten by a snake!!!!
• Do NOT allow the person to become over-exerted.
       If necessary, carry the person to safety.
• Do NOT apply a tourniquet.
• Do NOT apply cold compresses to a snake bite.
• Do NOT cut into a snake bite with a knife or razor.
• Do NOT try to suck out the venom by mouth.
• Do NOT give the person stimulants or pain
    medications unless a doctor tells you to do so.
• Do NOT give the person anything by mouth.
• Do NOT raise the site of the bite above the level of
        the person's heart.
