Snake Bite Victim rushed to Hospital

On Friday Morning, Khun Sirintip aged 27 was rushed to the Queen Sirigit Hospital in Sattahip after sustaining a snake bite as she was harvesting vegetables from her garden. It was raining at the time and Khun Sirintip suddenly felt a sharp pain in her right leg. To avoid any poison travelling throughout her body she tied a piece of rope just above the bite in an attempt to stop circulation to the foot. At Hospital she was given anti-venom and is now doing well. She was praised by doctors for her quick thinking to avoid the poison from spreading throughout her body.

I hope the young lady was educated that a compression bandage applied to the limb is also very effective, having the added benefit that the damage to the muscles is reduced.
