I read somewhere that someone was looking for the answer on how to treat a
snake bite the right way...well, I have just completed a first aid course
and this is the method we were taught...
first of all not to suck the poison out!!......It's called the "Pressure
Immobilisation method"
- Rest the casualty
- Do not panic
- Apply direct pressure over the bitten area
- Apply a firm broad bandage over the bite area first (this is to stop the
venom spreading) then bandage down the limb and continue to bandage up the
full length of the limb
- Immobilise the limb with a splint
- Call for medical aid

Some other points to note:
- Do not wash the bitten area
- Do not remove the bandage
- Do not elevate the limb
- Do not walk or run, make sure help comes to you

If there are any questions people would like to know about first aid, you
