• Stay calm and move to a safe area away from the snake.
• Assess whether the victim is a person or an animal and check breathing and consciousness.
• Do not cut, suck, apply ice, or use a tourniquet.
• Immobilize the bitten limb at heart level and remove tight items.
• Note the time of the bite and safely describe the snake if possible.
• Seek medical or veterinary care immediately if symptoms appear or worsen.
• Transport calmly to professional help; minimize movement.
