Identify whether it is a poisonous snake or not

After being bitten by a poisonous snake, we must first judge whether the snake is poisonous.

A long living knot should be left when ligation, which is easy to untie. Relax for 1 or 2 minutes every 15 to 30 minutes to avoid ischemic necrosis of the limbs. After emergency treatment, it can be released. Usually no more than 2 hours.

In an emergency, you can suck it by mouth (there should be no damage or dental caries in the mouth, lest the sucker is poisoned), spit while sucking, and then gargle with water, salt water or wine. First of all, take drugs for at least 0.5 hours. Before the severe disease or swelling subsides, make a cross incision and then attract. Later, the affected limb can be immersed in 2% cold salt water and squeezed continuously with fingers for 20 minutes from top to bottom for 30 minutes. More than 24 hours after the bite, generally no longer detoxification, such as obvious swelling around the wound, can be in the lower end of the swelling every 3 to 6 cm, with disinfection blunt head thick needle straight person 2 cm, such as hand and foot swelling, upper limb puncture eight evil acupoints (between four fingers), lower limbs puncture eight wind acupoints (between four toe seams) to eliminate venom and accelerate detumescence.
