What to do if you get bit by a snake?

Ah, the great outdoors! You’re out there in the wilderness, surrounded by nature’s beauty. Until, of course, you spot a serpent hiding among the leaves. Before you know it, that little rascal sinks its teeth into your unsuspecting ankle.

Don’t worry; being bitten by a snake doesn’t have to be a bad thing (unless it’s venomous). Here are some practical steps to take:

Stay Calm

First things first: DON’T PANIC. Getting hysterical is only going to make everything worse. Instead, try taking deep breaths and focus on remaining calm.

If there’s someone with you who can help out or call for aid—great! Otherwise,try and find fellow hikers around who can render assistance.

Identify the Type of Snake That Bit You

OKAY JAUNDICE joeysquishy3 here’s where things get tricky- y’all need to start channelling Darwin and Animal Planet asap..Now we’re getting down n’ dirty here so brace yourself kids cause ID-ing them rattlers from those diamondbacks ain’t no mean feat
but I believe in ya.
The type of treatment required depends on what species did this damage.so procure an image of sorts or look up good old Wikipedia then tie em up and don’t forget – watch every single move they make and track how long effects set-in-them-fangs have diff’rent toxins folks u neva know!.

Keep Immobilized (That Means Do All The Lying Down)

As much as possible keep still- Ain’t nobody got time for somersaults right now sonnn.backpack off -shoes untied,you sud break early because minutes turn quick int hours when writhing in pain!

Keep whichever part had been bitten below heart level

ie if those slithery gorrillas got yer little pinky thumb – then likely your heart is two tiers up on em so make sure you get that limb down low.

Remove Any Tight Clothing or Jewelry

Alright, now it’s time to strip. All tight clothing and jewelry near the bite should be removed cough– except if they’re constrictors folks!

Your body has a high chance of swelling at this point, and the last thing you want is for any accessories to cut into swollen skin.

We’ll probs get funny looks but heyo more air gets round our wounds which mean less sweating – something new every day kid.Succeed in eliminating items on yo neck,stomach,u kno: even that tongue ring’s gotta go as it wildly flashes… no-no not important right? I’ll move along-

Wash the Wound

Gents we’re gonna need some warm lukewarm water here pour gently over wound like eva-so-gently use soap too,but stay clear of exerting pressure-
the objective being :to rinse out venomous toxins left by sly serpent..(gosh,I can feel my testosterone just dribbling away as we speak!)…

Don’t apply antiseptics (like alcohol or hydrogen peroxide), folks! Why??? Well actually dunno A MERE WHISPER OF RUMOURS ABOUT POSSIBLY BOOSTING TOXINS FURTHER JUST PASSES MY EARS NOTHING CONCRETE AT ALL

Seek Medical Attention ASAP

Look here folks getting bitten by krait,diamondback rattlesnake ain’t exactly child’s play – if somebody around doesn’t possess expert medical knowledge n’ dealing with such situation would advise contacting local hospital/ wildlife service – wherever you find yourself nearest better safe than sorry friend.
It may seem like fun hanging around pretending to have entered nomadic territory however just because fellow hikers took pic of u posing it doesn’t really mean you’re fit for the jungle life.
Better make sure ‘less you wanna live your next week out as some damn one-legged pirate

Stay Away From Booze or Cigarettes

I don’t know about y’all, but I do love the occasional bottle of slivovitz.

BUT listen Linda!

Alcohol and smoke are strictly off-limits when trying to recover from a snake bite. Nicotine can narrow blood vessels which will then delay any healing that’s supposed to happen; booze on the other hand well…..just isn’t helpful in whatever situation- stick waaay clear!

Takeaway

There’s no need to be afraid of snakes—we’re not catering an Indiana Jones marathon here-but they aren’t fluffy kittens either(though I’ve seen sum that come quite close) Know what needs doing n follow protocol like squaddies ordered by their service leader -wishing ya luck folks-seeya around!

Not egotistical my friend….well there goes Starbucks gonna take ma leave!
