Treatment for envenomation varies depending on the toxin involved but generally includes:
1. First Aid: Basic first aid measures like immobilizing the affected area and keeping the patient calm can be crucial. 2. Antivenom: Specific antivenoms can neutralize the effects of certain venoms. These are typically derived from the antibodies of animals immunized with the venom. 3. Supportive Care: This can include pain management, wound care, and treatment of symptoms such as hypertension or allergic reactions. 4. Advanced Medical Treatment: In severe cases, interventions like mechanical ventilation or dialysis may be necessary.
