Snakebite, First Aid 

Snakes typically avoid people and bite only when they feel threatened or surprised. Therefore, to reduce your risk of being bitten by a snake, avoid picking them up or playing with them.

Those who live in areas that are known to have poisonous snakes are at an increased risk for snakebites. If living in such an area, it is suggested to carry a snakebite kit and become familiar with how to use it.
