Clean the wound carefully using a 0.9% saline solution. Avoid squeezing or pressing the area, as this can force venom into the bloodstream more rapidly.
Prepare a lemon seed decoction. Boil about 20 grams of fresh or dried lemon seeds, then allow the liquid to cool slightly. Have the victim drink the decoction to aid in detoxification.
Apply the residue to the bite wound. After boiling, crush the remaining lemon seed pulp and place it directly on the wound to help neutralize the venom.
For unconscious victims: If the patient is unconscious but able to swallow safely, mix lemon seed powder with a small amount of water and administer it carefully. Simultaneously, apply crushed lemon seed pulp externally to the wound.
Transport immediately to a hospital for further monitoring and antivenom treatment, regardless of home remedies used.
Important Notes and Precautions
The lemon seed remedy is based on traditional practice and may be used for adults and children over three years old, with dosage adjusted by age and condition.
This method should never replace professional medical treatment. Snake venom is extremely dangerous and can cause rapid systemic effects that require antivenom therapy and hospital management.
Always prioritize rapid transport to a medical facility after administering first aid.
