*Do you know that not all snake venom are poisonous and can kill humans?* *Have you ever witnessed a scene of snake attack and you were helpless?* *How then can you attend to someone bitten by snake?*
Most snakes lack poisonous venom to human being meaning though they have venom but it can not kill human being in particular. Only a few percentage can kill humans with their venom if antivenom is not applied after attack
Poisonous snakes can be identified from their bite even if the snake escaped. Check the bitten area, It has two prominent *FANG*(Obvious teeth just like canine in man).
If not found, be rest assured that the person will not die. But If you find this, simple, call the nearest emergency unit, while help is on the way, here is what you can do to help the person bitten.
*First Aid for a snake bite*
1. _Calm the person down and re-assure life_
The more you move, the faster the snake poison invade the body of the affected person.
2. _Cleanse the wound_
Remove all metallic object from the site of the bite
3. _Wrap the wound_
Get bondage if available and if not get a wet cloth and wound it round the site. Make all effort to make sure the wound is relatively lower to the heart.
4. _Carry the person on a stretcher_
If a stretcher is available, if not carry the person in such a way that he/she will not move the site of the bite.
Do you wish to know if the specie of snakes in your environment are poisonous?
Seeing the snake alone you can tell if it has a poisonous venom or not without any attack.
