Depends on the snake. This is why it's so important to identify the snake that has caused the bite, so medical authorities can select the correct antivenene. Do not try to kill or capture the snake; simply note its characteristics, especially its head. Experts can come close to identifying the snake by considering the geographical area you were bitten in terms of the snake's habitat.

It rather depends on the type and potency of venom - However, the symptoms include:

  • Bleeding from the nose, ears and mouth
  • Blurred vision
  • Convulsions
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Drooping eyelids
  • Increased saliva production
  • Lapsing in and out of consciousness
  • Nausea, feeling lightheaded
  • Numbness in the face and limbs
  • Pain at the bite site
  • Paralysis - either local to the bite area or spread through the whole body
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Slurred speech
  • Sweating
  • Swelling and redness around the wounds
  • Two puncture wounds
  • Vomiting and nausea

Snake bite wounds? Seeing a snake then experiencing pain? Experiencing pain and seeing a snake with its fangs embedded in you?
Pain and redness around the bite area in most cases. If it's a venomous snake, additional symptoms include... numbing of the limb, shortness of breath, dizziness, feinting, heart attack, and eventually death - depending on the potency of the venom.
well there are some snakes that u get a bite and u die but the egyptian cobra bit cleopratra so that wat made her died
All of the above: Drooping eyelids and nausea, blurred vision and slurred speech, rapid heart rate and increased saliva production
It depends on the type of snake and venom but... Pain and/or swelling of the bite area - visible puncture wounds in the skin - paralysis - laboured breathing - rapid heartbeat - nausea - lapsing in and out of consciousness..

There are many different types of black snakes in the world, some are venomous and some are not.

If you get bitten by one of the non-venomous varieties the bite could still become infected. The bite should be washed with soap and water and properly bandaged as soon as possible. It would also be a good idea to have a doctor examine the bite, they may be able to prescribe antibiotics if the bite becomes infected.

Symptoms may include pain, swelling, redness, or bleeding at the site of the bite. There will also be two (sometimes only 1) small puncture wounds at the site of the bite.
