Snake Bite

The effect of snake bite depends upon how poisonous the snake is. Some snakes are non-poisonous, some less poisonous and some are highly poisonous. When a poisonous snake bites, it is very fatal if proper care and treatment is not provided immediately. In order to prevent ourselves from snake bites, we should keep the surroundings of the house clean, clear the grass, bushes etc. from our residential surroundings. We should never walk bare-footed and always carry a torch or light while walking at night.

First Aid for Snake Bite
  • Apply tight bandage a little above and if possible a little below the bitten spot.
  • Keep the patient calm.
  • Clean the bitten part with soap and water.
  • Cut open the bitten spot with a sharp knife or razor and allow blood to flow out or suck  blood from that part using a suction cup. Never suck the venom using your mouth.
  • Apply resuscitation if needed.
  • Watch closely the pulse rate and breathing of the casualty and if he/she is in danger, rush him/her to the hospital at once.
