Snakebite Dos and Don 'ts:

DO remain calm and try to slow down your breathing by

breathing in and out of your nose.

DO keep the wound below your heart level.

DO monitor your or the victims vital signs.

DO keep the portion of the body that was bitten immobilized

and move it as little as possible.

DO wash the wound with soap and water if available.

DO lay the victim flat with their feet raised about 1 foot above
their body if they go into shock.

DO remove any rings, necklaces, watches, ankle wraps, knee

braces, or anything else that could be restrictive to proper
blood flow.

DO loosely apply a bandage roughly 2 to 4 inches above the

bite on the side closest to your heart if you are unable to seek
specialized care within approximately 30 minutes. However,
the bandage should be loose enough to be able to place 1 to 2
fingers underneath it. The idea here is to slow down the
venom without significantly disrupting blood flow or cutting of
blood flow all together. Be sure to check the bandage
frequently to ensure it remains semi-loose as the limb may
continue to swell and require the bandage be readjusted.
Don 'ts:

NO aspirin or other pain relievers.

NO tourniquets. This cuts blood flow completely and may

result in loss of the afected limb.

DO NOT try to suck the venom out of the wound or cut into
the bite with a knife. Such measures have not been proven
useful and may cause further injury (see below explanation).

DO NOT apply a cold compress or ice on the bite. Research

has shown this to be potentially harmful.

DO NOT raise the wound above the heart. Raising it can

cause venom to travel into the body. Holding it down, can
increase swelling.

DO NOT use electric shock or a stun gun on the bite area.

This method is under study and has yet to be proven efective.
It could harm the victim.

DO NOT wash the snake bite area treatment strongly

recommend against cleaning the wound. Traces of venom
left on the skin/bandages from the strike can be used in
combination with a snake bite identification kit to identify the
species of snake. This speeds determination of which anti-
venom to administer in the emergency room.

DO NOT try and capture the snake. If it's safe you can try to
take a photo with a camera or with your phone. This is the
best way in aiding snake identification.
