Some Education On Dealing With Snake Bites by profeazy(op): 12:24am On Jan 07, 2019
Snake bites are one of the deadliest form of accidents that occur in the tropics. It is important we know how to differentiate poisonous from non poisonous snakes.
Knowing if the snake that bit someone is poisonous or not could be the difference between life and death. This photo tells how to differentiate between the bites of both.

It is also necessary a person with a snake bite does not panic. Tie the affected area to reduce blood flow from the area to the heart and seek immediate medical attention. Sucking out the poison could be dangerous!

The Cobra is one poisonous snake that is found in Africa and Asia. In this short clip, Adael the Creature Teacher, a wildlife wizkid who is just 11 years old tells us more about snakes. Watch attentively. You might just learn a fact or two you could use to save a life someday.

Good. you can make a research on their tail shape, buoyancy on water, scale type and scale color too. all these are indicators of the venomisity (if there is anything like that) of a snake.
However, most west african snakes are not venomous

I've always wondered, in a country like this where our government hardly take anything about the people serious... In Nigeria here do we really have snakes anti-venoms?? I'm not looking to ridicule or paint out anything bad, I just need to know.
I'm that one guy who loves Nat Geo wild a lot and who loves watching documentary on Snakes and dealing with them..
Making anti venoms is very costly due to the production process.. our leaders are the I care less type... so I really don't know, are Nigerian hospitals equipped with Snake anti venoms??
Cause all I hear about mostly is being treated by one baba or the other

So op people should entrust their lives based on the words of a kid that just woke up from sleep abi. Venomous and non venomous indeed.
Re: Some Education On Dealing With Snake Bites by eliasjohn: 8:26am On Jan 07, 2019
It is very difficult to identify the bite from the snake is dangerous or not. Sometimes the bites from snakes can cause a severe allergic reaction. If the snake doesn't release venom, such bite is a dry bite. It will be painful and may cause swelling and redness. If snake bites and releases poison into the wound, it is Venomous bites. The patient will suffer severe pain around the wound. Also, he may suffer from a headache, breathing difficulty, stomach pain, irregular heartbeat rate, muscle weakness etc. As a medical professional preparing for MOH exam from MOH coaching centre Kerala, I have attended many such cases in hospital.

Because even some modernized and European countries still struggle to keep up producing it, it's not an easy thing to produce...it's not as if it's produced in factories like drugs... If you know how valuable Snake anti venom is and how hard it is to produce, you'll understand why I'm asking

After a snake bite just drink a bottle of 33.

don't deceive people by telling them the shape of a snake's head determines if it's venom or not, The snake used as illustration for a non venomous snake has the same head as a BLACK MAMBA which is one of the deadliest snakes ever
