Immediately remove the victim from the vicinity of the snake, which could be panicked and continue to bite. Try to memorize the physical characteristics of the snake - this is important for later treatment - but don't attempt to capture the snake or kill it; you'll be no use to the victim if you too are bitten. Don't allow the victim to become panicked, keep reassuring them and keep them immobilized until you can reach medical aid. Remove items such as jewellery or well-fitting shoes, belts and so on, from the victim; these could restrict blood flow if the area swells. Apply compression to the wound site and apply reasonable pressure to the limb above the wound (most snakebites are on a limb). Bind a splint to the limb if possible, but ensure there is no tourniquet effect; you must not cut off blood flow. Continually check extremities - fingers and toes - and ensure they're still warm and mobile. If you have a phone, take advice from paramedics, calmly, while you're attending to the patient. Never interfere with the wound by cutting into it or attempting to suck out the venom. This is highly dangerous and in any case doesn't work. Never use ice or or alcohol at the wound site and never, ever, use a tourniquet. Antivenene is effective in most cases and the majority of victims recover given proper treatment. One more comment: the vast majority of people bitten by snakes are attacked in the process of attempting to kill or relocate a snake. Left alone, they'll simply go away. If they see you as an aggressor they will retaliate and who can blame them?

There are very many different kinds of snakes, and I don't know about all of them and how dangerous they can be, so I recommend you consult a doctor. But I'll give you some short first aid procedures that can be helpful in many situations.

  1. Tie a knot using a cloth right above the wound that at least one inch above.The knot should be tight so that the poison does not penetrate to the heart quickly.
  2. At times loosen the knot and then tighten it , to keep blood circulating.
  3. Make sure that the person doesnt walk or run , it can increase circulation and poison can penetrate quicker.
  4. Try to keep the patience calm , dont panic because when you panic blood circulation will increase.
  5. if possible take a new clean blade and cut the wounded area and squeeze out some blood quickly after a tying the knot so some amount of poisoned blood is out.

well, actually you can't really cure it because usually after they bite you, you usually start to feel like your gonna die and that's what happens you die. mamba snakes have the most poisonous venom in the whole world but you don't have to worry because they don't live in Canada they live in either the United states State or the African state

If a person is bitten by a poisonous snake the only cure is anti-venom. As it is difficult to prove which species of snake has bitten a person, it is adviced that someone bitten by a snake should attempt to capture the snake in order to provide a quicker anti-venom solution.
