Most poisonous snakes have the following characteristics:
Large fangs Vertical slits for pupils, much like those of a cat A heat-sensitive pit between the eye and the nostril
on each side of the head A variety of differently shaped blotches on a
background of pink, yellow, olive, tan, gray, or brown skin
The triangular head is larger than the neck

Severity of Snakebite
The location of the bite (fatty tissue absorbs the venom more slowly than muscle tissue)
Whether disease-causing organisms are in the venom
The size and weight of the victim The general health and condition of the victim How much physical activity the victim engaged in
immediately following the bite (physical activity helps spread venom)
![Page 25: Bites](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55566b52d8b42a144c8b4f3c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Signs and Symptoms of Snakebite
Two distinct fang marks about half an inch apart at the bite site, which may or may not bleed (in some cases there may be only one fang mark)
Immediate and severe burning pain and swelling around the fang marks, usually within 5 minutes but sometimes taking as long as 4 hours to develop (swelling may affect the entire arm or leg)
Purplish discoloration and blood-filled blisters around the bite, usually within 2 to 10 hours
Numbness around the bite

First Aid Care for Snakebite
Regardless of the type of snakebite, neverCut the skin, which can cause infectionUse suction of any kindUse a tourniquet, which can result in loss of
a limbApply ice, which causes more rapid
absorption of the venomUse electric shock, which can cause severe
injury

First Aid Care for Snakebite
Instead, do the following:1. Treat a nonpoisonous snakebite as you would any minor wound; clean with soap and
water, cover with a dry sterile dressing, and seek medical advice.2. For pit viper bite, move the victim away from the snake (they will bite more than once,
and can strike half their body length). Keep the victim calm and quiet; if possible, the victim should not walk. Clean the bite with soap and water, then splint the affected extremity. Seek medical attention immediately; antivenim is available only in hospitals (partly because of its short shelf life) and must be administered within 4 hours.
3. For coral snake bite, gently wash the bite with soap and water and wrap the entire extremity with several elastic bandages, exerting moderate pressure to slow the spread of venom. Use overlapping turns to keep the pressure from the bandage firm, beginning at the end of the limb farthest from the heart; gently stretch the bandage as you wrap. Use figure-eight turns around the knee or elbow. When you have finished, the bandage should be firm, but you should be able to slip your finger under the bandage. Leave the toes or fingers exposed so you can check for any kind of discoloration, which would indicate that the bandage is wrapped too tightly; the victim should also stay alert for numbness or tingling in the fingers or toes, which also indicate that the bandage is too tight. Seek medical attention immediately: an effective antivenin is available.

First Aid for Bites and Stings
1. If the stinger is still present, remove it by gently scraping against it with the edge of your fingernail.
2. Wash the area around the bite or sting gently with a soap solution3. Remove any jewelry or other constricting objects as soon as possible—
ideally, before any swelling begins.4. Lower the site of the bite or sting slightly below the level of the victim’s
heart.5. Apply a cold compress to the site of an insect bite or scorpion sting to
relieve pain and swelling6. Apply a paste of baking soda and water to relieve the pain of bee sting7. Observe the victim carefully for at least 30 minutes to determine whether
he or she is developing the signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction 8. Keep the victim calm, limit physical activity, and keep the victim
warm; arrange for transport as soon as possible
