bites.
 Keep the person calm. Acute stress increases
blood flow and endangers the person. Panic is
infectious and compromises judgment.
 Tightly tie the area above the snakebite with
a cloth.
 Try to suck out all the possible venom and
split it away. Ensure that you wash your
mouth.

14. Do not give the person anything to eat
or drink. This is especially important
with consumable alcohol which will speed
up the absorption of venom.
Keep the person as still as possible.
Call for help to arrange for transport to
the nearest hospital emergency room,
where Antivenom for snakes common to
the area will often be available.

15. Antivenom is injected into the person
intravenously, and works by binding to
and neutralizing venom enzymes.
 It cannot undo damage already caused
by venom, so Antivenom treatment
should be sought as soon as possible.
