A bite from a poisonous (venomous) snake or lizard requires emergency care. If you have been bitten by a snake or lizard that you know or think might be poisonous, call 999 or other emergency services immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to develop.
its important to stay calm
Symptoms of a pit viper snakebite often appear from minutes to hours after a bite. Severe burning pain at the site usually begins within minutes, and then swelling starts spreading out from the bite.
Factors that affect the severity of a poisonous snake or lizard bite include the:
- Type and size of the snake or lizard.
- Amount of venom injected (if any).
- Potency of the venom injected.
- Location and depth of the bite.
- Number of bites and where they occurred on the body.
- Age, size, and health of the person who was bitten.
If you do not develop symptoms within 8 to 12 hours, it is possible that no venom was injected; this is called a dry bite. At least 25%, perhaps up to 50%, of bites are dry. If poison is released in the bite, about 35% of the bites have mild injections of poison (envenomations), 25% are moderate, and 10% to 15% are severe.
