The symptoms of a snake bite can vary depending on the kind of snake that has bitten you.

The following are signs of a poisonous bite according to the site:

Bite marks on the skin, which could be noticeable puncture wounds or nearly undetectable tiny scratches; acute pain surrounding the bite; swelling, bruising, or bleeding from the bite; these could appear gradually.

Once the venom starts to spread in your body, you may develop other symptoms, such as:

Breathing difficulties, irregular heartbeat, nausea (feeling sick), vomiting (being sick) or abdominal pain, headache, confusion or dizziness, blurry vision, muscle weakness or paralysis (being unable to move)

How are snake bites treated?

Every snake bite needs to be considered potentially fatal. Call triple zero (000) and request an ambulance if you have been bitten by a snake. Even if you appear well, a doctor should always examine snake bites.
