Venomous bites can cause swelling, nausea, blurred vision, breathing difficulty, irregular pulse, abdominal pain, bleeding, or paralysis. Some bites appear minor, leaving only small puncture marks while serious symptoms develop later.
If a bite occurs, keep the person still, call emergency services, apply a firm pressure bandage, immobilize the limb, and avoid washing the wound. Quick medical treatment greatly improves outcomes and can save lives.
