Scary snakes.
."If you see a snake in your home, the best thing to do is to leave it alone and let it go back outside or call a pest control expert!"According to Elijah's mother, there's one piece of advice everyone should follow when it comes to dealing with a snake bite."The biggest thing is having a go-to. Knowing what to do. It can happen. It can happen to anybody," she told WJAX.
Similar to Elijah's situation, you should call 911 and seek medical assistance at a hospital right away if any, director of toxicology at HCA Houston Healthcare-Kingwood in Texas, advises. You should also remove any restrictive clothing or jewelry from the affected area and elevate the extremity above your heart while awaiting treatment.
There are also things you should avoid doing in the aftermath."Please don't ice where the snake has bitten,", a Florida Poison Control Center spokesperson, told News4Jax."Please don't try to capture the snake. If it's safe to do so and you can get a picture, that's OK, but please don't try to capture them. Please don't try to cut the wound and suck the venom out."Zach is a freelance writer specializing in beer, wine, food, spirits, and travel.
