Snakebite season is upon us. Just ask 'Princess Bride' star Cary Elwes. Here's how to protect yourself from venomous snakebites.

For example, if the bite is to your ankle, wrap the leg with an elastic or pressure bandage starting at the foot and progress up the leg as high as possible. So, for an ankle bite, you want to extend the splint past the ankle distally and past the knee proximally. Any patients who receive antivenom will be admitted to the ICU. This can also become evident by bruising, called ecchymoses, that can appear in the skin within minutes to hours. They will also measure and track the limb circumference at several sites above and below the bite. A straight branch or piece of wood or plastic or metal will do. Any movement will assist venom in entering the blood stream. Where I live in California is home to eight species of rattlesnakes, for example. In the U.S., approximately 7,000 to 8,000 people per year are bitten by venomous snakes. Keep in mind that snakes will not bite if they are left alone. In the ER, I am most concerned with venomous snakebites – from either the coral snake or pit viper family, which the rattlesnake that bit Elwes belongs to. Fortunately, that risk can be mitigated by quick action after a bite and by seeking prompt medical attention.
