Abstract

A poisonous snake bites a person. What is the procedure to treat a snakebite victim? You take the patient to the hospital. First, there must be an assurance that the victim has been bitten by a snake and not by any other animal. Next, the patient is given an antidote, but not any antidote. A victim bitten by cobra cannot be treated by the antidote for a black mamba’s venom. So, before you can give the antivenom, you need to identify the snake that has bitten the victim.
