SNAKE BITE PROTOCOL ⚠️
I HAVE BEEN BITTEN! NOW WHAT?
1. The first thing to do is stay calm! The faster your heart beats, the more the venom could spread.
2. Record the exact time of the bite.
3. With a pen, mark around the bite site.
4. If possible, elevate the bite area above the heart.
5. Mark the progress of any swelling.
6. Try to get a photo of the snake, or make a note on its markings, size, and color.
