  • Answer:

    When the person is bitten you should bandage the wound tight,BUT not tight enough to cut the circulation off,immobilize the limb with a splint,keep the limb raised you have to keep the patient calm,Don't try to catch the snake, call an ambulance,if you cant you have to get to the car and drive to the hospital/doctor's, I've read that you shouldn't wash the wound so that the medical staff can take a swab of the bite to obtain the correct anti venom,then i've read where you should wash the wound Hope this has helped, have a good one

nonvenomous snakes tend to have dirty mouths, thus you have to be sure that you clean the bite thoroughly

I would think the purpose would be to cleanse the bite area then treat the wound. You have a puncture wound and you need to make sure no germs or anything else that might have been lingering on/in/around the snakes mouth infect the wound.

well oviously if the snake has disease like aids (kiding) then the soap will kill any disease or infections and may draw out any venom or fang stuck in the skin
