How to protect yourself from a snake bite

Get dressed properly. If there is a danger of being bitten, always wear pants made of thick fabric and high genuine leather shoes. Even if the snake attack you, it will be much harder to injure you. It just won't be able to bite through the rough fabric. Also protect your face and hands if there is the possibility of an attack with wood. You can wear a wide-brimmed hat and a sweater, it is at least in part, but will protect you.

Don't move around in the dark. Night is the time in which snakes are most active. Of course, this does not mean that she can't bite you. Try after sunset to be in an enclosed space, in which the snake will be difficult to get.

Be sure to inspect all around. Do not put hands into holes or under logs, be sure to watch your feet when you walk. If you don't want to be bitten by a snake – be careful. This is the most important rule. Snakes rarely attack first. They are aggressive only if their life is threatened. For example, when it comes. Never take a snake in his hands, even if she thought you dead. Maybe she is sick and she is difficult to move around. But on the last bite of her strength may be enough.

Still, if you saw this reptile around. Save a few seconds motionless, then very carefully and back away slowly, not turning to the snake back. Maybe she will not notice or will think you are safe. Do not make sudden movements, they react to them. Always keep calm so as not to offend the snake.

Be sure to find out how they look and what sounds like to see and hear danger from far away. Try to get as much information as possible. It will help you avoid being bitten.
