A venomous snake has two large teeth. So each bite will leave two large, deep teeth marks. Generally speaking, after 10 to 20 minutes of snakebite, the symptoms gradually appear. Therefore, after being bitten, it is important to buy time.

Bitten by a venomous snake in the wild, find a cloth belt or a long shoelace as soon as possible and then bind up the wound near the 5 ~ 10 cm upper end of the heart to ease the spread of toxins. In order to prevent limb from necrosis, you should rest for 2-3 minutes every 10 minutes or so. After binding, you can repeatedly wash the wound with normal saline or water while squeezing it, and try to dilute and squeeze the poison out of the wound. Meanwhile, take antivenom tablets immediately and apply antivenom powder around the wound. After being bitten by a venomous snake, slow down as much as you can and rush to a nearby hospital.

Note that turn to the nearest medical unit or public security organs for help while rescuing!

If the wound has no teeth marks and there are no signs of local pain, swelling, numbness and powerlessness within 20 minutes, it can be confirmed that there is no poisonous serpent bite. At this time, only clean the wound, do hemostasis and bandage. If possible, go to hospital to get tetanus injection.
