<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">ArabiaWeather.com- In light of the society&#39;s love for wild trips and rams, there are some risks during the wild trip that are represented in getting lost in the wild lands on the one hand, or exposure to snake bites, scorpions and other creatures such as bees or insects.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In this topic, we will discuss how to deal with a snake bite, God forbid, while we are on land?</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Differentiate between a poisonous and non-venomous snake</strong></p><p class="rtecenter" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/download_2.jpg" style="height:327px; width:600px" /></strong></p><p class="rtecenter" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Symptoms:</strong><br /> The bite of a snake or snake causes the destruction of tissues in the area where the bite occurred, as this appears in the form of local pain, redness, and swelling in the place where the bite occurred, in addition to the appearance of vesicles containing liquid that may be bloody, and within minutes the poison is absorbed into the urethra. Blood, and fear or excitement due to the bite helps in accelerating the pulse and thus the blood spreads rapidly throughout the body, and this causes symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, before bloody bleeding appears from several parts.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> And sometimes signs similar to the announcements of blood transfusion appear, such as the coldness of the body, and the occurrence of rapid and useless breathing, as it is weak and superficial breathing, which may cause fainting.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Treatment steps:</strong><br /> 1. Keep your nerves calm, as tension or excitement will accelerate the spread of poison in the tissues of the body. With your calmness, you will be able to slow down the transmission of blood within your body.<br /> 2. Quietly move away from the bite site, because the snake will most likely bite you again if you stay close to it.<br /> 3. You should not move the affected member, because this helps in the rapid spread of blood.<br /> 4. The one who is injured in the foot should not walk on his injured foot any step.<br /> 5. Try to remotely identify the type of snake or remember its shape without wasting much time on it<br /> 6. We tie the injured limb with a broad cloth bandage, or a rubber bandage directly above the site of the bite, in order to reduce the rate of blood spreading, while not pulling it too much. We also make the bandage cover the entire limb, while trying to force it so that the limb remains motionless.<br /> 7. Transfer the injured person to the hospital or the nearest available health center, mentioning the shape or type of snake, so that the appropriate treatment is given, as a different antibiotic must be given to almost every snake.</p>
