Question

Which step should not be taken to help snake bite victims?

• A. Asking them to restrict body movements
• B. Cleaning their wound
• C. Applying pressure bandage to bitten limb
• D. Cutting the bitten place

Answer 1

The correct option is D Cutting the bitten place

Cutting the bitten place or sucking the venom out is not a correct first aid in case of a snake bite. When bitten by a snake a person should call for medical help immediately. He should restrict his movements to stop the venom from spreading quickly. Till medical help is available we can clean the snake bite wound of the victim and apply a pressure bandage to the bitten limb.
