Snake Bite Pack

SKU: K205-034 Categories: ,

 

CDC guidance emphasizes that proper snakebite first aid includes limiting movement, monitoring the victim, and activating emergency response as quickly as possible. First aid supplies should support stabilization only, as antivenom administered by medical professionals is the only effective treatment.

The CDC advises that snakebite first aid focuses on rapid medical attention and minimizing movement to slow venom spread. Keeping the victim calm, removing restrictive items, and avoiding outdated methods like suction or tourniquets can help reduce complications until professional care is available.

🐍 CDC Guidance on Snakebite First Aid

  • 🚑 Get medical help immediately – Call 911 or emergency services right away; antivenom is the only effective treatment for venomous snakebites.

  • 🧍 Keep the person calm and still – Limit movement to slow the spread of venom; keep the bitten area at or slightly below heart level.

  • 💍 Remove tight items – Take off rings, watches, or tight clothing near the bite to allow for swelling.

  • 🚫 Do NOT use harmful methods – The CDC advises against cutting the bite, sucking out venom, using tourniquets, ice, electric shock, or alcohol/caffeine.

  • 📍 Monitor and document – Note the time of the bite and watch for symptoms (swelling, pain, nausea, trouble breathing) while waiting for help.
