Re: I got bit by a snake
Most likely a copperhead. And if the swelling and pain aren't really bad then the worst of it will be over by morning.

A rattler would probably be a lot worse than you describe. Though some rattlers have more neurotoxin than hemotoxin.

What State are you in?

I don't live in an area known for venomous snakes, but if I got bit by one I couldn't identify I'd be headed to the ER with the quickness.

Re: I got bit by a snake
what kind of snake ?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83078956

It was brownish with dark patterns
 Quoting: CherryUltra


Copperhead. Just rub some dirt on it.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20826800


Yeah...

Copperhead would be my bet, since the pain is up to his knee.

But don't rub dirt on it. Yeesh.

OP, they don't give antivenom for copperhead bites, but you can have a venom reaction that could need medical support, like breathing. Most recover with just supportive care and observation. But, like others have mentioned, you could use a shot of antibiotics, to prevent septicemia.

At least go to a walk in clinic.

Re: I got bit by a snake
It depends what state and what kind of location. It could copperhead cottonmouth or even a few others but it could get really serious. Like really bad depending on what bit you.

Google images of snakes in your area and tell us which one it was

Pretty sure I got bit by a copperhead a month ago...on my ass...the fang marks weremt that big so I thought it was a spider but then it got bad ...dark purple bruises in a circle the size of a grapefruit around it...I put myself on antibiotics...a day later I see a huge copperhead in my fucking windowsill....it's rotten there and open and there's a space where it can get under the baseboard into my bedroom...I saw a mouse do it once
..I guess it smelled the mice...it got away too...pretty sure it bit me while I was sleeping...a month later and it still hurts...the bruising is gone tho finally..I sprayed foam and stuff in the space...

Are you still alive?

We live in rattlesnake country. Never been bit, but if you do get bit, go to the ER immediately!

Re: I got bit by a snake
If you live in the SW you might have gotten bit by a high neurotoxin rattler. The swelling isn't as bad as with hemotoxin so initial symptoms aren't bad. The end result of untreated is often fatal.

That's California, Nevada, Arizona.

East of there it's probably a copperhead.

Cottonmouth bites tend to be pretty nasty with extreme swelling. Rattlers too.

But the copperhead bite is very often (not always) kind of mild.

Allergic reactions to my knowledge occur within minutes of being bitten.

Re: I got bit by a snake
likely too late for antivenom.
baking soda paste and place over the wound.
Ice too keep down the swelling.
depending on the snake....
feel for blood clots forming .... this is potentially bad as blood clot could find the heart..
aspirin to thin blood
good luck

You need to go to the ER, like right now. At the least you're going to need antibiotics.

 Quoting: cosmicgypsy




CG is correct, get yourself to the ER right now. Even if it's not a venomous snake, you can still get an infection, but the symptoms you describe are a cause for concern.

Don't... when you sleep the blood flow changes and allows the venom to eat at your flesh.
Your leg might be completely purple in the morning
