DON\u2019T MOVE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Now this one feels strange to people, however it is simple. If you move by running to grab your phone or moving about, you are at <em><strong>risk<\/strong><\/em> of spreading the venom. Venom travels through your lymphatic system. NOT moving your body might just save your life! The key is to stay <strong>calm<\/strong> and <strong>still<\/strong> to help prevent the venom travelling further into your body. First Aid is super important, so inhale, taking in some very deep breaths to keep yourself focussed and as calm as possible ready for the next steps.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. NEVER CUT OR SUCK OUT THE POISON<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Well that one seems obvious! Just putting it out there so you are sure about this one!

On many occasions they attack simply when they feel threatened. A range of tests can be done at hospital these days to determine what type of snake has bitten you. They will then be able to evaluate what type of treatment that is required for you.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>6. NEVER WASH OR CLEAN THE BITE SITE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you have a pad or even a piece of plastic, place it over the area where you have been bitten. This is so it can soak up the venom and hopefully preserve it for later testing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2709 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/fasttrainingaustralia.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/5f52ca_d49226b6ebfe4f70bf0babbdd051ca51mv2-300x300.webp\" alt=\"Never sign Snake Bite Management\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fasttrainingaustralia.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/5f52ca_d49226b6ebfe4f70bf0babbdd051ca51mv2-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/fasttrainingaustralia.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/5f52ca_d49226b6ebfe4f70bf0babbdd051ca51mv2.webp 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>7. NEVER USE A TOURNIQUET<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Again, that\u2019s old school thinking. Instead <em><strong>apply a pressure immobilisation bandage<\/strong><\/em> if you have been bitten on your limb \u2013 you are doing this so it can stop the venom moving through your lymphatic system. If you don\u2019t have a bandage with you, other material can be used such as a torn-up T-Shirt, stockings or other stretchy fabric. This will do the trick and act as your bandage.<\/p>\n<p>Mark the bite site on the bandage with your lipstick, pen, mud or any substance that will leave an indicator for emergency services to know where you have been bitten. Once this is done, prepare a splint over the bandaged limb to keep it from moving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Idea\u2019s for a splint?<\/strong> \u2013 A rolled up magazine, a stick, clothes rolled up firmly etc. Secure the splint by applying more bandages.<\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t need to put a pressure immobilisation bandage in place if you have been bitten on your head, chest or torso.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How are you <em>feeling<\/em> about that so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Knowing what to do (and what <em><strong>not<\/strong><\/em> to do) can make all the difference in saving someone\u2019s life or saving your own.
