Detailed answer
If someone is bitten by a snake, move away from the snake, keep the person calm and still, and seek medical help immediately. Do not cut the wound, suck venom, apply ice, or use alcohol as treatment.
Try to remember the snake's appearance from a safe distance, but do not attempt to catch or kill it. Medical teams need time, location, symptoms, and any safe description you can provide.
On safari, always tell your guide immediately. Guides know the nearest medical options, ranger contacts, and evacuation routes better than visitors do.
Quick planning notes
- Move away from the snake and keep the patient calm
- Call for professional medical help immediately
- Do not cut, suck, ice, or tourniquet the wound
