First aid for snake bites: what to do and what not to do.
Snake bites are frightening, but staying calm and knowing how to respond makes a critical difference to the outcome.
What to do
Stay Calm
Panicking increases heart rate and spreads venom more quickly through the body. Stay as calm and still as possible. If it's someone else, calm and reassure the person who was bitten.
Seek Safety
Move away from the snake to prevent further bites. Have the person lie down and keep the bitten limb immobilised.
Remove Jewellery and Tight Clothing
Swelling can occur rapidly. Remove anything near the bite site that could constrict.
Apply a Bandage
Use a heavy crepe bandage to apply a pressure bandage, at the same pressure as for a sprained ankle. Start at the end of the limb and continue all the way to the shoulder or hip. Mark the bite location on top of the bandage so the doctor knows where to cut for the VDK swab.
Keep the Bite Below Heart Level
Where possible, keep the bitten limb at or below heart level to slow the spread of venom.
Seek Medical Help
Call emergency services or transport the person to the nearest medical facility as soon as possible. Provide details about the snake if known, but do not waste time searching for it or attempting to capture it.
What not to do
Don't Panic
An elevated heart rate increases the circulation of venom through the body.
Don't Apply Ice
Ice constricts blood vessels, potentially trapping venom and causing further tissue damage.
Don't Wash the Bite Area
Washing the bite site will possibly delay treatment at hospital. It removes the trace the Venom Detection Kit needs to identify which anti-venom is required.
Don't Use a Tourniquet
Cutting off blood flow entirely causes tissue damage and increases the risk of limb loss.
Don't Attempt to Suck Out Venom
Ineffective, and it introduces harmful bacteria into the wound.
Don't Cut the Wound
Incisions increase infection risk and do not effectively remove venom.
Don't Consume Alcohol or Caffeine
Both raise heart rate and blood flow, speeding the spread of venom.
Don't Delay Medical Treatment
Even a minor-looking bite can be life-threatening. Early treatment gives the best outcome.

If you can safely photograph the snake from a distance, send it through. It helps us arrive prepared. Never approach it and never attempt to catch it yourself.
