Set up for shock and force fluids or give by intravenous (IV) means. Remove watches, rings, bracelets, or other constricting items. Clean the bite area. Maintain an airway (especially if bitten near the face or neck) and be prepared to administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or CPR. Use a constricting band between the wound and the heart. Immobilize the site. Remove the poison as soon as possible by using a mechanical suction device. Do not squeeze the site of the bite. If infection appears, keep the wound open and clean. Use heat after 24 to 48 hours to help prevent the spread of local infection. Heat also helps to draw out an infection. Keep the wound covered with a dry, sterile dressing. Have the victim drink large amounts of fluids until the infection is gone.

Taro, cocoyam, elephant ears, eddo, dasheen: Boil twice to remove poison

Separate the plant into its basic components. 3. Smell the food for strong or acid odors. 4. Do not eat for 8 hours before starting the test. 5. During the 8 hours you abstain from eating, test for contact poisoning by placing a piece of the plant part you are testing on the inside of your elbow or wrist, wait 15 minutes to allow for a reaction. 6. During the test period, take nothing by mouth except purified water and the plant part you are testing. 7. Select a small portion of a single part and prepare it the way you plan to eat it. 8. Before placing the prepared plant part in your mouth, touch a small portion (a pinch) to the outer surface of your lip to test for burning or itching. 9. If after 3 minutes there is no reaction on your lip, place the plant part on your tongue, holding it there for 15 minutes. 10. If there is no reaction, thoroughly chew a pinch and hold it in your mouth for 15 minutes. Do not swallow. 11. If no burning, itching, numbing, stinging, or other irritation occurs during the 15 minutes, swallow the food. 12. Wait 8 hours. If any ill effects occur during this period, induce vomiting and drink a lot of water. 13. If no ill effects occur, eat 0.25 cup of the same plant part prepared the same way. Wait another 8 hours. If no ill effects occur, the plant part as prepared is safe for eating.
