The more that the bitten part is moved, the faster the poison will spread to other parts of the body. For instance if the snake bite is on the foot, which is a common place for snake bite while you are hunting or fishing, the person should not walk at all. Wrap the bitten area. You need to wrap the bitten area with a wide elastic bandage or clear cloth to slow the spread of poison. Keeping the arm or leg very still, wrap it tightly, but not so tight that it stops the pulse at the wrist or on top of the foot. If you cannot feel the pulse, loosen the bandage a little. Wind the bandage. Over the hand or foot and up the whole arm or leg. Make sure you can still feel the pulse. Put a splint on. Once the whole arm or leg is wrapped tightly, then put a splint on that part of the body to prevent the limb from moving. Carry the person on a stretcher.
