## Caption

It’s not just embarrassing — it’s dangerous.

If you’re bitten by a snake, don’t waste time trying to capture it to identify it. Act right away and call 911 in case the snake was poisonous.

After you call for help, you should:
- Keep the injured area still and below the heart.
- Wash it with soap and water.
- Cover it with a clean, dry dressing.
