envenomation treatment protocols

Envenomation treatment involves quickly calming the person, immobilizing the bitten area, and keeping it still to slow venom spread. Remove tight clothing or jewelry near the bite site, and keep the area lower than the heart if possible. Do not cut or suck the wound. Seek emergency medical care immediately. Antivenom may be administered in hospitals for certain snake or insect bites to neutralize venom. Pain relievers and antihistamines can help manage symptoms. Prevent infection by cleaning the wound thoroughly. Prompt medical attention is essential to reduce complications and ensure proper treatment.
