In another incident, a six-year-old boy tragically died to a snake bite while on his family’s farmland in Sengundram village, near Gudiyattam town in Vellore.
According to the police, the victim, identified as R. Shanmugavel, a Class 1 student at a local private school, was bitten by a snake while gathering leaves from the curry leaf plant (karuvepillai) on his farmland around 6 p.m. on September 16 (Saturday). The family resides in a thatched house on the farmland, and when the boy did not return home for an extended period, concerns were raised.
If someone is bitten by a snake, it’s crucial to take immediate action. Here are the steps to follow:
- Stay Calm: Keep the victim as calm and still as possible. Panic can increase the heart rate and spread venom more quickly through the body.
- Remove Jewelry and Tight Clothing: Swelling may occur, so remove any tight clothing, jewelry, or accessories near the bite site.
- Keep the Bite Area Immobilized: Immobilize the bitten limb or area. You can use a splint or sling to keep it steady.
- Position: Keep the bitten limb at or slightly below the level of the heart.
- Do NOT: Do not try to suck out the venom, cut the wound, or apply a tourniquet. These actions can worsen the situation.
- Wash the Wound: Clean the wound gently with soap and water.
- Cover with a Clean Bandage: Apply a clean, dry bandage to the wound to keep it clean.
- Seek Medical Help: Try to get the victim to the nearest medical facility as quickly as possible. Antivenom may be necessary, so the sooner medical treatment is received, the better.
- Note the Snake:If possible, try to remember the color and shape of the snake, as this can help with treatment. However, do not attempt to capture or kill the snake, as this can be dangerous.
Remember, snake bites can be life-threatening, and professional medical treatment is essential. Do not delay seeking medical help if someone is bitten by a snake.
