Key Questions Answered
Immediately after a snake bite, keep the affected person calm, move them to a safe place, and transport them to the nearest hospital without delay. The person should not walk or run, and the bitten body part must be kept as still as possible to prevent the venom from spreading.
Do not waste time trying to catch, kill, or identify the snake species. Avoid cutting the wound with a knife, applying strong pressure, rubbing the area, trying to suck out the venom with your mouth, or tying the bitten area tightly with a rope.
Walking, running, or panicking after a snake bite increases your heart rate and blood pressure, which can cause the venom to circulate and spread much faster through the body. Doctors advise keeping the patient calm and immobile while seeking immediate medical care.
