Symptoms

Always remember to seek medical attention at the earliest opportunity, because a snake bite victim should get antivenin as soon as possible. These techniques are virtually guaranteed to help a victim dramatically, but they may not be enough to save a person from a fatal snake bite.

Home remedies

• Activated charcoal (also known as activated carbon) is the best overall general purpose toxin filtration agent in existence
• Echinacea is an excellent emergency remedy for purifying the blood following bites by poisonous spiders and snakes.
• Bentonite clay is known to remove toxins, and is also advised for treating spider bites.
• Chelation Therapy is used as a treatment for metal poisoning, including acute mercury, iron (including in cases of thalassemia), arsenic, lead, uranium, plutonium and other forms of toxic metal poisoning. The chelating agent may be administered intravenously, intramuscularly, or orally, depending on the agent and the type of poisoning.
• Coriander : Cilantro is most often cited as being effective for heavy metal cleansing and rightfully so, this herb is a powerful, natural cleansing agent. The chemical compounds in cilantro bind to heavy metals and loosen them from the tissue. Many people suffering from mercury exposure report a reduction in the often-cited feeling of disorientation after consuming large and regular amounts of cilantro over an extended period.
