venom management

Venom management involves promptly and effectively treating a venomous bite or sting to reduce health risks. Key steps include keeping the affected limb immobilized and at or below heart level to slow venom spread, removing tight clothing or jewelry, and avoiding unnecessary movement. Immediate actions also include cleaning the wound and seeking medical attention promptly. Medical professionals may administer antivenom, a specialized medicine that neutralizes venom, along with supportive care like pain relief and monitoring for allergic reactions. Proper management minimizes tissue damage and reduces the chance of serious complications.
