Detailed explanation-1: -Applying pressure at the bite site with a pressure pad may be suitable in some cases. Avoid traditional first aid methods, herbal medicines and other unproven or unsafe forms of first aid. Transport the person to a health facility as soon as possible. Paracetamol may be given for local pain (which can be severe).
Detailed explanation-2: -Remove shoes, rings, watches, jewelry and tight clothing from the bitten area as they can act as a tourniquet when swelling occurs. Immobilize the victim’s bitten limb using a splint and lightly put a bandage. Be prepared to treat the shock and provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Detailed explanation-3: -Washing the wound with soap and water and holding the limb still is recommended. Trying to suck out the venom, cutting the wound with a knife, or using a tourniquet is not recommended. Antivenom is effective at preventing death from bites; however, antivenoms frequently have side effects.
