I'd suggest that anti-snake bite vaccine be distributed to farmers do that they'll immediately administer it incase of any eventuality. Or better still, there should be yearly immunisation for farmers against snake bite. I think it will be very difficult in most cases for a victim to come and start explaining the type of snake that bit him. One of the major problems that most farmers have is road accessibility, some farms are very far located from a major road. So tieing the affected area with clean cloth(dont know where they'll get such inside the farm), lowering it and limping to hospital to me is an impossibility. I think my above recommendations should be looked into. I so submit! 1 Like |

The practice of cutting and sucking the spot where the victim was bitten by the snake is an age-long practice and it works as first aid. I really wonder if this American nurse will teach an old dog new trick 1 Like 1 Share |

The place where I once lived was infested with snakes. My last snake bite was sometime in November 2005. The only thing that saved my life was that I quickly sucked the venom out and spitted it away fast. I was taught exactly how to do this by an old farmer in a neighbouring farm. This method works if one sucks it out very quickly, before it begins to circulate. It doesn't circulate so fast, and one shouldn't run or shake the bite part or body so much before sucking it out. And, after sucking it one should not swallow. The sucking method is good if one experienced snake bite in a bush far away from medical facility. The idea of sucking out snake venom may seem strange to some, but if you have learnt how to do it, you will find yourself doing it spontaneously if you are bitten by a venomous snake and that is the only way you can save your life. It has saved my own life o. And upon that, I still killed the snake on that day because, instead of running away, the creature went to hide under a big stone and stayed there. After taking care of the bite, I went to check underneath the big rock and luckily it was still there and that was where I killed it; the 11th snake I would kill at that time. Try and live in a heavily forested area full of streams and be keeping chickens; you will be familiar with different species of snakes and you will know that sucking out snake venom could be a life saver. Our forefathers have been doing it for ages and I have benefited from it. As for those who are disgusted by this method, just pray that you don't experience snake bite in a remote area, where the nearest possible help is very far away. 3 Likes 1 Share |
