Venomous snake bite

Critical

⚠️ Check: Is the area safe for you to approach?

Any movement of the bitten limb accelerates venom absorption.

Call 112. Stay still. No tourniquet. Hospital now.

DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Do NOT apply a tourniquet or tight band above the bite — this can cause limb loss without helping.

DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Do NOT cut the wound, suck out venom, or use a suction device — these do not work and cause infection.

DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Do NOT give alcohol, herbal remedies, or ice directly on the bite.

DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Call 112 or 108. Say: "Snake bite. Person is conscious. Need ambulance to nearest hospital with antivenom."
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Stay on speaker. Tell them which limb was bitten and whether breathing is normal.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Do not drive yourself if symptoms are worsening — wait for ambulance if possible.

Suspected venomous bites need antivenom evaluation within hours — earlier is better.

DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Every snake bite needs emergency hospital evaluation — treat unknown bites as potentially venomous.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Antivenom decisions are made by doctors — arrive at hospital as soon as safely possible.
