Most snakes are non-poisonous, and so a snake bite is a fairly minor injury.  Clean the wound and dress it (bandage).\n\nIf the snake was a venomous snake, then swift medical attention and anti-venin may be required.  A reliable identification of the snake is vital to proper delivery of the right anti-venin, so the snake should also be brought to the facility if possible.\n\nDO NOT suck out the wound!!  You increase the chances of infection, expose the person sucking to potential harm from the venom, and may make the injury worse.\n\nA loose tourniquet (you should still be able to slide a finger between the limb and the tourniquet) will help restrict the flow of venom into the rest of the body.  Remove the tourniquet for a few minutes every half hour to keep some blood flowing to the limb.\n\nKeep the bitten limb lower than the victim's heart.\n\nSeek medical attention immediately.  If it's a venomous snake.  But most snake bites (in North America anyhow) are probably not going to be as dangerous.

Put salt on them. It chemically burns them and creates a seal so they heal faster.

Wash the area thoroughly, put on some neosporin and a bandaid. Take a benedryl (will help with itching, burning and mild allergic symptoms).\nWatch the area carefully for signs of changes such as lots of swelling, red rings, puss, smell, etc. \nThe bite will *probably* be gone by tomorrow, but if it does exhibit venom symptoms, see a doctor.

Summertime may be everyone’s favourite time of year, but mosquito bites can cause a great deal of irritation. Below you will find a list of ways to treat mosquito bites. \n\nCalamine lotion, otherwise known as the pink stuff, still works. \n\nIf you think it, it will disappear! It might sound crazy and those around you might think you’ve lost it, but this really works for some people. Just close your eyes and say “I feel no pain” or “I do not itch”. \n\nTry tea tree oil. You can find this almost anywhere thanks in large part to the internet, but you can also find some at a health food store. \n\nRub raw garlic over the bites. \n\nMake a paste of water and baking soda and put a dab of paste on your bites. Other pastes that you can make consist of: salt and water or salt and butter. \n\nApply cold compresses. Whether you use a face cloth, a towel, or you fill a ziplock bag with ice, make sure it’s cold. \n\nAloe vera, whether in gel form or straight from the plant itself, works magic with mosquito bites. Simply apply it to the bite and forget about it. \n\nToothpaste or hemorrhoid cream works on the bites as well. \nThe more you scratch a bite, the worse it is. The scratching can also lead to scarring and infection of the bite. If the bite gets infected, contact your doctor for proper treatment.

Ice (cryotherapy).  If you do not have an 'icepack' designed for this, you can use a large bag of frozen vegetables (peas or corn).\n\nPlace the 'icepack' or frozen veggie bag in a thin pillowcase cover and then apply it to your shoulder for about 20 minutes.  Follow this with 1 hour without ice to allow healing blood flow and to prevent frostbite.  Repeat as needed.\n\nInitially, it should feel very cold, then ache, then burn, then numb.  Do not exceed 20 minutes of use at a time - do not want to turn you into 'freezer burn'!\n\nGood luck.

For symptom relief use ice (cryotherapy).  You can purchase an icepack for this purpose at any drug store.  Or, you can use a large bag of frozen vegetables (peas or corn work well).  \n\nPlace the icepack in a thin pillow case cover and then place it on the area of pain (you can lie on it on a bed if that is comfortable).  Keep the ice on for 20 minutes, followed by one hour without ice.  You need an hour 'ice free' to allow for return of healing blood flow and to prevent frost bite ('freezer burn').  If you are applying the icepack correctly, you will go through several stages, including burning, aching, pins and needles and then analgesia/numbness.\n\n\nPlease note, this therapy, while very helpful, does not treat the CAUSE of the pain.  You really should seek professional care by getting a proper spinal evaluation from your family Chiropractor.\n\nBest wishes and good luck!

The poison travels through your bloodstream and can emerge wherever veins come near the surface of the skin. You should rinse the area with warm, soapy water as soon after contact as possible. After symptoms appear there is little you can do. Vinegar helps, but serious cases a shot of Cortizone may be given and steroids prescribed.

They they taught me this in high school. Turn in on it's back and carress it's belly slowly until it is completely relaxed (this is how they play dead for snakes; it's instinct) after about 5 minutes or so, lay him an a bed of ice and continue carressing him and adding ice to somewhat cover him. Don't freeze him to death though. Eventually he will appear dead, but will wake as he warms. They are cold blooded animals, which means they don't generate they're own heat. As you cool them down, his blood flow will slow to almost a stop. You don't want to keep him like this for too long, or he will die.
