In LZthe LZevent LZof LZa LZsnakebite, LZthe LZfirst LZpriority LZis LZto LZmove LZthe LZvictim LZto
LZa LZsafe LZarea LZaway LZfrom LZthe LZsnake LZand LZencourage LZthe LZvictim LZto LZrest
LZto LZdecrease LZvenom LZcirculation. LZNext, LZjewelry LZand LZconstricting LZclothing
LZare LZremoved LZbefore LZswelling LZoccurs. LZImmobilizing LZthe LZextremity LZand
LZmaintaining LZthe LZextremity LZat LZthe LZheart LZlevel LZwould LZbe LZdone LZnext;
LZthese LZactions LZlimit LZthe LZspread LZof LZthe LZvenom. LZThe LZvictim LZis LZkept
LZwarm LZand LZcalm. LZStimulants LZsuch LZas LZalcohol LZor LZcaffeinated LZbeverages
LZare LZnot LZgiven LZto LZthe LZvictim LZbecause LZthese LZproducts LZmay LZspeed LZthe
