6. If you are bitten by a poisonous snake

A poisonous snakebite looks like this: right after you get bitten, the spot will hurt a lot. The blood color may change to dark red or even blue. After that, the bitten spot gets swollen, and other symptoms appear: a headache, blurry vision, stammering, nausea, fever.

What to do: doctors don’t recommend sucking out the poison, because there may be some small wounds in your mouth. Through them, the poison may get into your blood. But if you are far away from the hospital, there is no other choice. You should suck out the poison d1-2 seconds after the bite, spitting the poison out all the time and washing the mouth.

Don’t push the bite or put a bandage on it. If the poison is concentrated in one place, this may lead to necrosis. Let the blood pour out- it will take some of the poison with it.

7. How to understand you were bitten by a rabid animal

If you are bitten, wash the wound right away in warm water with soap. Even if the animal wasn’t bitten, you might have some infection.

If you are bitten by a rabid animal, the wound will bleed for a long time, and after that, it will become red and swollen. Later, it will itch badly, you will develop a fever, and you will be irritable.
Rabies leads to death within 4-7 days. That’s why it’s very important to visit the hospital and get vaccinated before it’s too late (after 1-3 days).
