sachin: on this cool evening, i will enjoy a stroll! screaming it is good if you were able to notice the colour, body scales, head or any special characteristic of the snake which bit you.
what to use to keep snakes away from your house, but if you missed it, need not worry. remember don't waste time in catching or seeing the snake. it's not necessary. harshil: sachin, what happened? sachin: i got bit by a snake.
the first thing that you should do after a snake bite, is to immediately call for a medical help. you can call for an ambulance by dialing 108 or the nearest rescueteam of your region. medical attention is always required whether the snake is venomous or not. harshil: a snake has just bit my friend, please come near the kasturi park. the most important thing is that the victim should
remain calm, relaxed& fearless because with the increase in his heartbeat, the blood flow will increase, resulting in a rapid spread of the venom. harshil: don't panic. be brave. do you know, only 20% snakes in the world are venomous & 50% chances are that a venomous snake delivers just a dry bite. even if snake might have delivered you a venomous bite, by correct treatment & measures, you can be easily saved from any injury.
so, be tension free. then, you should go to a safer place away from the snake'sreach. note, the victim should do as less movement as possible. the affected body part should remain below the level of the patient'sheart. sit gently. remove any tight fitting clothes on or near the wound as swelling may occur. also, remove every tight object such as rings, wrist watch etc.
remember, don't cut the wound because it will increase the risk of infection, don't suck the venom out as it not only removes negligible amount of venom from the body but may also poison the sucker. also,don't eat or drink anything specially alcohol or caffeine as it may increase your heart rate leading in the rapid spread of the venom. then if possible, arrangefor a bandage or any clean cloth available to you.wrap it around the wound, loose enough so that it makes a finger sized gap.
then, wrap it till the top as much as possible. remember, don't use a tourniquetas it could potentially restrict the blood flowtoo much. also, don't use ice on the wound as it can increase the damage. then you need to immobilize the affected body part. for this, arrange a wooden rod,stick or a board, whatever is available to you on the spot and place it one one side of the affected body part. to hold it, fashion a splint using a bandage or a cloth. with this, first aid treatment gets completed.
the doctor will then detect the venom and will give you the appropriate antivenom harshil: sachin, how are you feeling now?
sachin: friend, i am fine now.i really want to thank you a lot harshil. because of your presence of mind, i am alive. in the same way, by remembering these things, you can save yours as well as others life, from a snake bite.
