Snake bite

Step by Step

1. 1
   Stay calm, minimize movement — faster heart rate spreads venom faster
2. 2
   Keep the bitten limb below heart level (usually just let it hang)
3. 3
   **Do NOT** suck the venom, cut the wound, or apply tourniquet
4. 4
   Remember snake's appearance (color / pattern / head shape). Photograph but don't chase it
5. 5
   Wrap firmly with clean cloth around the bite to slow lymph drainage
6. 6
   **Call 999 immediately** · Malaysian hospitals stock antivenom
7. 7
   Aim to reach hospital within 2 hours
