On what to pay attention when bitten snake Rozpopovov Fedor Harlamampevic. "The bite of an unknown snake should not be subjected to panic moods. The excitement stimulates the acceleration of heart rhythm, which contributes to the rapid penetration of poisons into the blood. Need to breathe slowly and deeply. First of all, it is necessary to establish, whether there is a reason for concern. Carefully inspect the place of the bite. If the Viper is in the body of the victim, two poisonous fangs (less than one)-the wounds that bleed, and are removed from each other on 1-and 4, 5 cm. In place of the poison first is felt itching, in 10-15 minutes begins to develop a swelling, reaching its maximum in 10-12 hours from the moment of bite. A throbbing pain in a place of a bite is usually negligible. Lightly hurt the lymph nodes. Usually the painting of poisoning is exhausted, but in some cases the disease proceeds more seriously. Sick pale, feels dizzy, nausea, fear, possible (especially with significant swelling) the fall of arterial pressure and fainting. However, in normal already in 10-15 hours the condition of the victim is stabilized, and about the end of the second day begins a rapid reduction of swelling. In 3-10 days all external manifestations of illness disappear. Sometimes in place of bite (and on the course of vessels) there are blisters with blood content that during the week badly heal,-he commented.
