View products | | | Animal BITES are best treated as puncture wounds which should
simply be washed and dressed. Antibiotics may be given to minimize
the risk of infection, and tetanus toxoid given if appropriate.
Should rabies be a possibility, then further treatment must be
considered. Bites and stings of venomous reptiles, amphibians, scorpions,
snakes, spiders, insects and fish may result in clinical effects
characteristic of that particular poisoning. Sometimes specific
antivenoms may be administered to reduce morbidity and mortality.
Many snakes are non-venomous (e.g. pythons, garter snakes, king
snakes, boa constrictors) but may still inflict painful bites and cause
local swelling. Most venomous snakes belong to the viper and cobra
families and are common in Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America.
Victims of bites may experience various effects including swelling,
paralysis of bitten area, blood-clotting defects,
palpitations, respiratory difficulty, convulsions and other
neurotoxic and cardiac effects. Victims should be treated as for
shock, i.e. kept at rest, warm, and given oxygen if required but nothing
by mouth. The bite site should be immobilized but a tourniquet must
not be used. All victims require prompt transfer to a medical facility.
When appropriate and available, antivenoms should be administered as soon
as possible.
Similar management is appropriate for bites and stings
by spiders, scorpions, sea-snakes, venomous fish and other marine animals
and insects.
