SNAKE BITE
Symptoms and First Aid

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 diarrhea
Labored 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

One should take these steps if a snake bites them:

Seek medical attention as soon as possible

Antivenom is the treatment for serious snake envenomation.

The sooner antivenom can be started, the sooner irreversible damage from venom can be stopped.

Driving oneself to the hospital is not advised because people with snakebites can become dizzy or pass out.

Take a photograph of the snake from a safe distance if possible. Identifying the snake can help with treatment of the snakebite.

Keep calm.

Apply first aid while waiting for EMS staff to get you to the hospital.
Lay or sit down with the bite in a neutral position of comfort.
Remove rings and watches before swelling starts.

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.
