Tying the bandage as tightly as possible can reduce blood flow. It should not be so tight that blood flow stops. This can increase the risk of infection. This can cause the hands to turn blue. Due to which that part may have to be amputated later.
Don't be afraid, be brave
People get scared when they are bitten by a snake, but the victim should avoid this. This increases the blood flow and the poison also spreads rapidly.

The hand should never be raised above the heart.
By doing this the poison can reach the heart. Which can increase the danger. If all these things are taken care of, then you can avoid danger for four to five hours. While taking these precautions, try to reach the hospital as soon as possible.
