It is often seen that after snake bite, some people start removing poison through mouth, using local medicines and herbs and try various home remedies. World Health Organization (WhoWHO has strictly prohibited such methods. If you or someone in front of you gets bitten by a snake, you can try the remedies suggested by WHO to save his/her/her life.

move away from the bitten area

First of all, quickly move away from the place where the snake has bitten. If the snake is still stuck to the bitten person, then use a stick or tool to remove it. In case of snake bite in the sea, quickly take the person to the land to prevent drowning. To avoid swelling, remove any kind of tight jewelry like ring, anklet, bracelet etc. from the bitten part. These jewelry can cause harm if there is swelling.

boost the morale of the patient

Many snakes are not poisonous. Even after a poisonous snake bite, in most cases the danger of death is not immediate. Therefore, instead of panicking, boost the morale of the injured person. Do not let the bitten person move. If the bite is on the hand or leg, support him/her with something. Use a stretcher to take him/her to the hospital.

Avoid bandaging the wound

Never bandage a snake bite wound tightly. Use only the Australian technique (PIB) for bandaging. This method is only effective for bites of neurotoxic snakes, whose bites do not cause swelling. Pressure pads can be used in some cases.

Avoid home remedies

Avoid home remedies, herbs and other uncertain or unsafe methods. Do not use home remedies, Ayurvedic medicines or herbs in case of snake bite. These can cause harm instead of benefit. After snake bite, take the patient to the hospital as soon as possible.

Vikas was bitten by a snake 7 times in 40 days

give pain relievers

If there is severe pain, then medicines like paracetamol can be given. Vomiting may occur after the bite, so keep the person in a comfortable position by lying on the left side. If there is difficulty in breathing, then mouth-to-mouth breathing can be given.
