What to do:
If you’re in a remote area with limited access to help:
Do not attempt the following:
If safe to do so: Take a photo of the snake or remember its appearance (color, head shape, markings). This can help medical staff determine the right treatment.
What to do:
- Calm the victim and help them remain as still as possible.
- Remove any jewelry, watches, or tight clothing from the affected limb or bite area to prevent circulation issues if swelling occurs.
- Minimize movement of the bitten area - this slows the spread of venom.
- Monitor the person’s breathing and responsiveness, and encourage them to stay calm and still.
If you’re in a remote area with limited access to help:
- Immobilize the affected limb using a non-elastic bandage to slow the spread of venom.
- If possible, rinse the wound gently with clean or bottled water before applying the bandage to reduce the risk of infection.
- If you don’t have a bandage, use clothing like pants or a shirt.
- Move the victim only if necessary - ideally to a location where help can arrive faster.
- To reduce movement, you can create a stretcher or ask two people to form a seat with their crossed arms to carry the person.
Do not attempt the following:
- Do not apply a tourniquet
- Do not suck out the venom
- Do not apply ice or cold packs
- Do not massage or rub the bite area
- Do not cut the wound to encourage bleeding
If safe to do so: Take a photo of the snake or remember its appearance (color, head shape, markings). This can help medical staff determine the right treatment.

Apply Direct Pressure
- Use direct pressure to the wound to slow or stop the bleeding.
- Ask the injured person to apply pressure themselves if they are able, or apply pressure yourself using a barrier (such as gloves, gauze, or clean cloth) between your hands and the wound.
- Help the person lie down to prevent fainting.
- Call emergency number 112 and explain the situation.
- Stay with the injured person until medical help arrives.
- Apply a dressing or clean cloth over the wound while maintaining pressure.
- If the first dressing becomes soaked with blood, place a second dressing on top—do not remove the first one.
- Continue applying firm pressure directly on the wound.
- If direct pressure is not effective and the wound is on an arm or leg, apply a tourniquet 5–10 cm (2–4 inches) above the wound.
- Tighten the tourniquet until the bleeding stops.
- Secure the tourniquet and note the time it was applied.
- Only use a tourniquet when absolutely necessary, as it may cause tissue damage if left for too long.
- Do not remove any object stuck in the wound.
- Apply pressure around the object, not directly on it.
- Try to stabilize the object with dressings to prevent movement.
