Keep Movement to a Minimum
Medical professionals recommend keeping the bitten person as still as possible. Excessive movement can increase blood circulation and may help spread venom through the body more rapidly.
If the bite is on an arm or leg, try to keep the limb relaxed and supported. Walking, running, or engaging in physical activity should be avoided whenever possible.
Remove Jewelry and Tight Clothing
Swelling is a common symptom following many snake bites. Rings, bracelets, watches, and tight clothing can quickly become dangerous if swelling develops.
Removing these items early may help prevent circulation problems and reduce discomfort later.
