Folk Remedies For Snake Bite
Always rush the victim to a hospital. But if it takes time to get medical help, there are some folk remedies to minimise the impact of the snake venom.
In case of a snake bite, the person should immediately be rushed to the nearest hospital. Though all snakes bite, only a few of them are poisonous and life threatening.
The venom of some snakes like cobra impacts the nervous system whereas the venom of other snakes like viper impacts the blood stream.
If a venomous snake bites, an anti-venom serum must be immediately given. Therefore, going to a hospital is a must. Also, the victim of the bite should be kept calm. If the person panics, the venom spreads in the body fast as panic increases heart rate.
