Snake Bites

          Snake bites may be poisonous and can be fatal if nothing is done immediately.

First Aid:
1.  Keep the patient still to slow down circulation.
2.  Incise the bitten area and let it bleed to remove the position.
3.  Wrap a teaspoonful of salt in a handkerchief or a piece of cloth and moisten the salt with water. Apply it directly over the wound after the bleeding. Apply for 10-15 minutes.
4.  Bring the patient to the nearest hospital or clinic immediately.
