In short
- Safety first, then a call for help with your exact location — only then the injury.
- Severe bleeding: firm, continuous direct pressure on the wound.
- Tick: remove it as soon as possible with tweezers, straight out and slowly — and watch the bite site for weeks.
- Snakebite: calm, rest, call for help — no cutting, sucking or tourniquet.
- Can't stand on the leg, a blow to the head, neck or back pain — don't walk; wait for help, kept warm.
