Handling Snake Bites..!!!!

Symptoms:

Symptoms depend on the type of snake, but may include:

1. Bleeding from wound
2. Blurred vision
3. Burning of the skin
4. Convulsions
5. Diarrhea
6. Dizziness
7. Excessive sweating
8. Fainting
9. Fang marks in the skin
10. Fever
11. Increased thirst
12. Loss of muscle coordination
13. Nausea and vomiting
14. Numbness and tingling
15. Rapid pulse
16. Tissue death
17. Severe pain
18. Skin discoloration
19. Swelling at the site of the bite
20. Weakness

First Aid:

1. Keep the person calm, reassuring them that bites can be effectively treated in an emergency room. Restrict movement, and keep the affected area below heart level to reduce the flow of venom.
2. If you have a pump suction device (such as that made by Sawyer), follow the manufacturer’s directions.
3. Remove any rings or constricting items because the affected area may swell. Create a loose splint to help restrict movement of the area.
4. If the area of the bite begins to swell and change color, the snake was probably poisonous.
5. Monitor the person’s vital signs — temperature, pulse, rate of breathing, and blood pressure — if possible. If there are signs of shock (such as paleness), lay the person flat, raise the feet about a foot, and cover the person with a blanket.
6. Get medical help right away.
7. Bring in the dead snake only if this can be done safely. Do not waste time hunting for the snake, and do not risk another bite if it is not easy to kill the snake. Be careful of the head when transporting it — a snake can actually bite for several hours after it’s dead (from a reflex)

DO NOT:

1. Do NOT allow the person to become over-exerted. If necessary, carry the person to safety.
2. Do NOT apply a tourniquet.
3. Do NOT apply cold compresses to a snake bite.
4. Do NOT cut into a snake bite with a knife or razor.
5. Do NOT try to suck out the venom by mouth.
6. Do NOT give the person stimulants or pain medications unless a doctor tells you to do so.
7. Do NOT give the person anything by mouth.
8. Do NOT raise the site of the bite above the level of the person’s heart.

Home Remedies for Oily Skin

If you have oily skin, you will know that it can prove to be the bane of your existence. Acne, eruptions, blackheads all come uninvited. The bad news for those who have oily skin is that you can expect breakouts and greasiness to get aggravated during your periods, pregnancy, menopause or whenever else your skin feels like doing what it wants. 

The good news is that you can keep a tab on your skin with a little help from your kitchen. Here are some home remedies to treat oily skin.

Red sandalwood with rosewater

Raktachandan or red sandalwood has been used for cosmetic purposes for centuries in India. “It reduces acne, scars and blemishes,” says beautician Urmila Hule. It also gives your skin a glow. Rosewater will get rid of excess oil and grime.

Multani mitti and honey

Fuller’s Earth or multani mitti is an excellent absorbent and it cleanses the skin of all oil. Some may find it too drying for their skin. In such cases, it should be combined with honey. “Honey is a light moisturiser. It is a much better option for oily skin than bottled moisturisers,” says beautician Manpreet Virdi. 

Tomatoes

“Tomatoes can dry out your oil glands without making your skin parched. They also get rid of pigmentation problems,” says Virdi. If you don’t have time to puree the tomatoes, simply cut them into half and slide the cut pieces over your face. 

Egg white

Apply a mask of egg white all over your face and neck to close pores and tighten your skin. You can also make a mask of one egg white, a teaspoon of lemon, a teaspoon of mint and half a cucumber. Blend and apply for 15-20 minutes.

Turmeric with raw milk
According to Hule, milk that has not been boiled is a very good cleanser, especially since it has cream in it. “When combined with turmeric, it makes a great face mask for oily skin,” she says. Turmeric is antiseptic and will combat the bacteria that cause pimples. 

One last tip from our expert: Hule says you should be careful when using these ingredients. “Do not trust the powders you get in the market because more often than not they will be adulterated,” she says.
