1....first Call an emergency.

2....ensure you make the patient to really be calm or if you are actually the the patient do not get Panic and be aware that in the world only about 30% of snakes are actually poisonous so you really have an 80% chance of living.....

3.....Take the patient to actually move to some specific empty land or some actual safe land. If you are actually the patient do not really put more strain but at least ensure that you get away from the danger zone. If possible you can actially lift the patient to a very safe mode so that any kind of physical activity should be really avoided...

4....make sure that you Lay the wound area below the level of heart,that is if were actually bitten in the foot ,you should make the patient to actually sit down with their legs streched...If they were bitten in the hand, lay the patient down and check whether the region is actually below heart..

5..ensure that you actually remove any objects and any clothing that are actually close to the wounded area of the body. for Example: Clothes, wrist-Watch, Rings,necklace... etc.

6...Take a piece of cloth or a bandage and make sure you roll the wounded area fully with your index finger as the base....what i mean is that you should roll first then actually ensure you keep the index finger really above the rolled one and also roll it and again make sure you keep index the finger above the rolled one and roll it again....

Roll the entire bitten part with a bandage,if it was a foot bite then you have to actually roll the bandage fully in the leg and if you were bitten hand then do the same thing by actually rolling the bandage or cloth on all part of the hand that was bitten.....

7...Then make use of a stick or anything that is actually wooden ,,,take it next to the actual bandaged area or the area where the cloth was rolled up,,and actually tie the stick with the bandage or the cloth..

8...After that first aid is actually over then wait for the ambulance to arrive....
