Snake bites?

Question

Are all snake bites deadly if not immediately loked after? I mean the non poisonnous snakes. I presume one would need to go immediately to a hospital and get an antidote. How long before the poisonnous effets take place and what are the first signs?

Thank you.

I understand that Rattlesnakes bite are very dangerous. I meant the bites from the small snakes that are not venimous.

Answer 1

Not all snake bites are poisonous but they can also cary parasites and germs. Unless you know for a fact as to what the type of snake was and that it is not poisonous then snap a quick picture if possible or try to find out immediately through the internet or the encyclopedia. I would still try to disinfect the wound immediately and then if not certain identify and either call poison control or get it checked out! No need to take chances, all forms of animals can have diseases too, doesn't have to be the venom that kills ya!

Answer 2

the effects of venom are immediate and usually start with losing feeling around the area of the bite (which gets increasingly worse over time). and i think most snakes that don't bite aren't venomous (although i may be wrong).

but i do know that if you get bitten by a nonpoisonous snake, you dont need to go to the hospital because the snake hasn't infected you with any poison.

Answer 3

Some bites are so toxic it takes only minutes to die – yet others are a necrotic toxin that rots the flesh from your bones over several days. Most are harmless to people – even the toxic ones do not actively seek to harm people.

Answer 4

Not all snakes are poisonous, but yes you should go to the hospital inmediately after the bite.
Oh my God, I hate snakes, just to write the word freak me out!!!

Answer 5
