First Aids after a Snake bite:

Dos

  • Snakes bite generally in hand or leg. Tie both ends of the bite with a rope or a piece of cloth.
  • Make a small cut with a clean razor so as to allow contaminated blood to flow out.
  • Watch the snake closely, so as to be able to describe it in front of the Doctor.
  • Rush to the hospital.

Don'ts

  • Do not panic. Remember 97% of the snakes are not poisonous to the human beings.
  • Do not tie the cloth very tightly as it may lead to blood clotting in the area.
  • Do not let excessive blood to flow out of the cut.
  • Do not try to clot the wound. Do not apply anything over it.
  • Do not try to treat with local remedies. Rush to hospital immediately after first aid.
  • Do not attempt to Fight the snake off. This will just make it more aggrivated!
