Snake bites in rural Pakistan: do and do not
Farm work and village life bring people close to snakes. Calm, correct first aid helps while getting to hospital.
Farm work and village life bring people close to snakes. Calm, correct first aid helps while getting to hospital.
Keep still and calm
Movement spreads venom faster. Keep the bitten limb still and below heart level.
Remove tight items
Take off rings, bangles and tight clothing before swelling begins.
Avoid the old remedies
Do not cut the wound, suck it or tie a tight tourniquet. Go to a hospital with anti-venom as quickly as possible.
Still, calm, hospital. No cutting, no sucking.
