3 In case of a snake bite

Until ambulance arrives, one may take following measures of First-aid:
Keep victim calm and restrict movement. With increased heart-rate, venom spreads faster in the blood.
Make sure victim does not panic. Often, panic causes more complications to symptoms and situation.
Position victim such that area affected by bite is below the level of heart. With use of pillows, etc. keep level of heart higher than level of bite location.

DO NOT Apply tourniquet
DO NOT Suck the wound manually (with mouth) or through a machine
DO NOT Apply any pressure to the bite site
DO NOT Give alcohol or warm beverage to the victim
DO NOT Cut the wound
DO NOT Cover the bite wound
