Finger infection with severe skin necrosis following a snake bite!
Snakebites can be serious and sometimes life-threatening and require swift and appropriate treatment. Snakebite symptoms vary dramatically from bite to bite. Many snake bites take place so quickly that victims are not always certain that they have actually been bitten. A bite mark is seldom the characteristic two-fang puncture mark. In the event of a snake bite the victim may experience some of the following symptomes: an immediate burning pain, followed by swelling, which progresses up the limb and may affect the lymph glands, dizzines, difficulty in swallowing and breathing, bleeding from mucous membranes, shock... First aid measures include getting the victim to a hospital as soon as possible and in a safe manner, keep the victim calm and still as possible, remove rings and tight clothing, apply pressure bandages. Antivenom will probably be administered at the hospital.
