We have been overwhelmed with snake bite information particularly what to do or solution to follow in case one is bitten by snake. I think prevention is the best strategy. For some of us that our houses are very close to bush or located in new sites, rearing pet cat can safe us from snake incidence. I simply carried out a research by rearing a pet cat in my house that is very close to bush area as I use part of the land for farming and I discovered that due to the presence of our cat, snakes are no where to be found . This is a place where we normally see snakes very often before we started rearing the pet cat. A simple analysis of you-tube documentary on fights between cat and snake can provide more reasons why snakes fear cat. |

SmartPolician:Seems easy for a lot of APC youths on this forum...! From Buhari to Tinubu, they are just relentless. As far as they are concerned, Nigeria is on par with even United States. |

Please give us the number for the emergency service o. This reminds me of the day scorpion bit me on my foot Na so I begin dey gobble onions and dey drink red oil. The sting was very very painful all over my leg and I thought I was going to die. But I didn't die. I used to think it was the onions and oil that worked but I later learnt that the type of scorpion that bit me wasn't the very poisonous kind. Though I can't say whether those things work but if it happens again na basket of onions and gallon of red oil get me o. |

Freshandfitpod:Please, I beg you change your mindset. Inferiority complex is dangerous. This information about how to handle snake venom and also scorpion bite is common knowledge in rural areas. They didn't learn it from any 'white man'. This is something that has been passed on from generation to generation, sad thing is most of the younger generation are disconnected from their roots, so they cannot know about some of these helpful common knowledge topics. |

nairalanda1:Usually we respond in opposite direction! Someone will be shouting prayers, casting and binding, others will be shouting bring onions and chew, others will be offering bitterkola, ....all sorts of "advice " will be given, but the important element of speed and application of correct first aid will be lost in the commotion! Time is lost, aid delayed and a life lost! Then the blame game commences. Hospital will not accept, families will also refuse to take the blame!! There's a lot we need to know... |

To repel snakes, use plants with strong scents or sharp textures that irritate their senses: Marigolds: Emit a strong pungent odor snakes dislike. Mother-in-Law’s Tongue (Snake Plant): The sharp, tall leaves act as a physical deterrent. Lemongrass: Contains citronella, which has a scent that confuses snake receptors. Garlic & Onions: Contain sulfonic acid, which is a natural chemical repellent for reptiles. Emeskhalifa: |

I want to start rearing cat, but i dont know how to care for it or where to start from. Okay, let me ask these questions. Where will the cat be staying. Is it inside your house or outside the house(compound)? How do care for it. Does it bath? How do you feed it? And lastly, where can one buy the cat. What is the process? Leemak: |

MEGAWATCH:This is what I was saying. There are ways our fathers handle this kind of issues then. We don't hear all this noise. Snake bite is not suppose to take someone life like that. It's so sad what happened to that lady. We need more other natural and African ways like your own hear on how to handle snake bite like that. Our forefathers would even call the venom out then. |

Not all snakes are venomous. Most snakes, in fact, thankfully are not. Snake bite mark / impressions of set of teeth Is most likely from a non venomous snake Venomous when you see Fang marks. If on lower leg May be okay to apply some tourniquet slightly To slow down venom spread Apply downward pressure to let out some blood through the Fang marks Some traditional approach suggest chewing of certain leaves as part of management ?Rush to Health Centre / Hospital Wound hygiene is done Anti tetanus cover Antibiotic cover Access to gsh booster - a challenge Specific antivenom administration - a challenge to get in our settings |
