2. Don't risk further bites or delay appropriate treatment by attempting to search, capture or kill the snake. However, if the snake is already killed, it should be carried safely along with the patient to the treatment centre for identification.
3. Immobilise the bitten limb with a splint or sling and keep it still.
4. Don't run. If possible, let others carry you immediately (preferably by motor vehicle) to the nearest health centre where anti-snake venom serum is available. Using a motorcycle will help to save time.
5. Don't cut, burn or suck the bite site or the bitten body part.
6. Don't use herbs, chemicals, ice/cool packs or electric shocks.
