“— Move beyond the snakes striking distance
— Clean the wound, but do not flush with water.
— Cover the wound with a clean, dry dressing
— Dont drink caffeine or alcohol, which can speed up the rate at which the body absorbs venom
— Seek medical attention as soon as possible
— Take note of the type of snake so that a description can be provided to medical staff”
WRONG!!!!
Kill or catch the little bastard so it will not be a danger while you are doing first aid.
Suck out the poison all you can.
A light constriction band above it, NOT a tourniquet.
Take a photo and tweet it if you have a signal.
A shot of medicinal whiskey will take the edge off... panic can kill!
Go to the hospital in a manner that will not further kill you. So do not drive like a jackass. No matter how fast you get there, they will put you in a room and observe you for many hours to see if you will need antivenom.
When friends arrive to check on you pretend you do not recognize them
Awesome! Lol
