Another good point that people often don't think of is to remove jewelry
on the affected limb. Rings especially. The swelling from a snakebite is
unbelievable. A hand can get almost as big as a soccer ball. A ring left
on will cost you that finger.
Transport fast and call ahead if possible, it takes awhile to get
antivenom ready.
