    In North America, snake envenomations (where the snake bites and injects venom), are generally caused by Crotalids, the family of snakes that includes pit vipers like rattlesnakes, water moccasins, and copperheads. Less common, but still found in the U.S., are Elapids, the family that includes coral snakes. Although there are about 8,000 venomous s...

    Plan ahead and prepare. Know if you are traveling in snake country. Research local snakes prior to travel for prevention advice, local treatment protocols, and the availability of antivenom.
    Respect wildlife. Don't pick up or corner a snake.
    Avoid blind placement of hands and feet in suspect areas.
    Avoid traveling at night without a light.

    Pit Viper Bites

    1. Fang marks 2. Swelling and pain. If absent after 30 minutes, envenomation probably did not occur. 3. Ecchymosis (skin discoloration resulting from bruising) and bleb formation (a pressure cyst) over 6-36 hours, and later necrosis (death of body tissue) 4. Weakness, sweating, and chills 5. Nausea and perhaps vomiting 6. Numbness and swollen lymph nodes

    Coral Snake Bites

    1. Local swelling 2. Nausea, vomiting 3. Dizziness, weakness, respiratory difficulty (up to 12 hours after bite)

    These Apply for All Snake Bites

    1. Scene Safety! Don't create another victim by attempting to identify, capture, or kill a snake. 2. Keep yourself and the patient calm. 3. Immobilize the limb. Avoid compression/constriction of the bitten extremity. Remove constricting clothing and jewelry. 4. Transport to a physician/hospital. The definitive treatment for envenomation is antivenom and supportive care. 5. Document the signs and symptoms of envenomation in order to describe the progression to a physician.

    These Vary by Region

    1. Wash the wound. This is recommended in North America to prevent local wound infection. In Australia, this is not done, as it prevents surface assay (a technique that involves wiping the wound and using a machine to identify the venom on the wipe and determine the species of snake. Very specific antivenoms exist for their various dangerous snake species). In India, washing is not recommended because of concern that scrubbing the wound could increase venom distribution. 2. Consider pain medi...
