The serum is generally referred to as antivenom. Antivenoms treat patients by neutralizing the snake venom.
Different antivenoms need to be cultivated depending on the type of snake. The specific process involves the purification of antibodies produced by an animal after a small number of injections of snake venom into the animal, which contains high-valent antivenom antibodies. When bitten by a snake, the venom enters the organism and is antigenic to humans.
The injected antivenom contains the corresponding antibody, which can neutralize the corresponding snake venom and specifically bind to form a complex, rendering the toxin inactive and being processed by the corresponding phagocytes of the organism, thus rendering the toxin inactive to the human being.
If you are bitten by a snake and need to go to the hospital as soon as possible, you should use a tourniquet or use a tourniquet substitute to ligate the proximal end of the limb where the bite is more than one joint to block the reflux of venous blood and lymphatic fluids, and relax it at regular intervals to avoid necrosis of the limb.
The patient should be kept quiet and should be transported by another person if conditions permit. Movement of the injured limb should be restricted and absolute bed rest is required to minimize toxin absorption. The skin around the wound should be cleaned with soapy water, and can be sucked with a breast pump or with cupping.
If you feel unwell, you should go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition or triggering adverse reactions.
