Bites and stings from venomous animals require specific first aid measures.
- Immobilize the Affected Area: Keep the affected limb immobilized and at or slightly below heart level. - Remove Jewelry and Tight Clothing: This helps prevent constriction as swelling occurs. - Do Not Apply Ice or Tourniquets: These can cause more harm than good. - Seek Medical Help: Immediate medical attention is necessary for antivenom administration.
