Medically, it is not every snake bite is venomous bite, how do will know the venomous bite? It is better will should not wait. If we can identify the type of the snake it is better as there are two broad type of antibenom vaccine, specific and polyvalent(the commonest)

When the snake bite, the individual should try to tight the affected area with two tourniquets (could be pieces of cloth) and be releasing the tourniquets intermittently.
2ndly, if possible to restrict the affected area completely immobile is the best.
Don't cut the site of bite or apply concortions it may rapid progression of the venom
If u are one of those that keep antivenom at home n u know how to give injection, please admit the agent immediately.
And don't delay in moving the affected individual to hospital.
Delay is very dangerous

All these ones no go work if na mamba or rattle snake bite you o!

Luckily, mamba and rattlesnake no dey naija.
Who told you there are no mambas in Nigeria?.... Those devils are all over the place, the black mambas specifically. I call them devils because unlike other snakes that only attack when threatened and cornered, black mambas will actually come for you unprovoked, and if you dare provoke them, they chase after you for long distances. They can be extremely fast. Those things are nothing but demons.

Eat raw cassava to neutralize the venom.. I bought a boom from traditional healer.. Snake bit me, I did this, even my mum too... It works fine... Immediately you get bitten by a snake.. Fast and uproot any cassava close by.. Chew as fast as you can and use knife to scrape the particular place while you are chewing the casava

What saved me was drinking of kerosene. If I tell you my snake bite story, you may cry. When I was asked, "Did it bite you?" I said no, I don't think so — it was at 8 PM and I was still in primary school at the time. With my answer, the young man killed the small poisonous animal.

It was late at night, when everyone was asleep that the poison started moving from my leg to my chest. If not for kerosene, I would've been gone.

The next morning, treatment commenced by a traditional healer. Thank God for life.

I learnt that they don't kill snakes in some part of the southeastern region. So the gods of the land could have neutralized the venom of the snake instead of killing the boy. Africans are still addicted into all these primitives mentality.
This is 21st century, may God deliver all our Southerners from primitives culture and traditions.

RIP to the boy

If it's any of the following there's nothing you can do because these snakes venoms kill.in less than 4 minutes

Puff adder
Black momba
Spitting cobra
Coral snake ( I think )

I can't remember the others

If any of these bites the person, just say your last prayers and lay down comfortably, there's no point dying in an uncomfortable position is there ?

TheArchangel:

Keep the person as calm as possible. Anxiety increases heart rate and increased heart rate will circulate the venom faster to all part of the body. kiss
Keep the part lower to decrease the circulation of the venom.
Tying of a tourniquet is no longer recommended as the part may lack blood supply and die.

If it is a poisonous snake, get a sharp machete and hack that part off.

GET TO A TEACHING HOSPITAL OR THE BIGGEST HOSPITAL IN YOUR STATE FOR ANTI-VENOM IF YOU GET BITTEN.
PAY WHATEVER YOU ARE TOLD TO...... NO BARGAIN.
WITH ULTRA POISONOUS SNAKES LIKE boomslangs, spitting cobra, puff adder etc, YOU MAY HAVE ONLY MINUTES TO LIVE.

Did you say *hack the part off*??, if na for neck or blocous nko

Please stop spreading false info. This is serious, someone will actually read this thinking its true and might end up gulping kerosene.

Please dont drink kerosene under any circumstance snake bite or whatever it can kill you.

Calm down man!

Tho I’m not sure if Kero works for snake bite but there are some things kero can cure in the body!

I’ve drank kero well well myself.

Why will an adult drink kerosine just because someone said so on nairaland?
I heard kerosene can be used to rub the surface while the victim drink plenty local palm oil.

Get the original "Aporo Epa Ijebu", take some and apply some on the affected area.
It works for scorpion and snake bite.

My question now is this,What medicine (Whether traditional or not) could be be administered into someone who has been bitten by any kind of snake to slow down the reaction or even quench it in case Hospital is far away ?



One of the most important things to do after a snake bite is take a picture of the snake or ensure the snake is caught. Knowing the exact snake helps to reduce the stress of guessing which snake committed the act to find the appropriate drugs to apply. So snake the picture and then tie the upper and lower region, use an object to ting the swollen and affected area so the venom discharges. While you cover it with protective neat clothing enroute the hospital after this is done.


The next important thing to do is note the time it occurred. Knowing the time helps in ascertaining the time length the individual has.



If there's no hospital atall. Like in the boys case, after the venom is extracted, he should have been administered red palm oil to drink or coconut water in large amount. For a myriad of poison issues, up to 4 litres of coconut water or palm oil reduces the risk of future risks by atleast 50%. In such cases, given the victim lots of palm oil to drink while sucking out the venom would help
