Co-worker Bitten By Snake

I hope your co-worker was saved! It is a terrible experience to be bitten by a deadly snake such as that. But good thing he was bitten in his thigh which is not very near this heart. Anyway if he was given the necessary first aid properly and was rushed to the hospital I have high hopes that he was able to survive. Am I right?

I'm glad you were able to help your co worker and I hope they get better soon.

It's probably going to feel like the end of the world for me if I were to be bitten by a snake. I was bitten by a cockroach before and it left a big, red and very itchy inflammation at the back of my thigh and I thought it was going to be the end of me. I hope your friend will survive through it. Does your hospital have the right antivenom for that type of snake? Is that snake common in your place?

Did you apply emergency medication while rushing him to the hospital? I think you need to stop the venom from traveling fast. I am not a first-aider but I think this is the right thing to do. I hope your co-worker is fine now. Keep us updated.

Hi marcmm, I had seen lots of snakes with huge size in our farm but never seen green coloured snakes. Seems to be poisonous too. Marcmm you had done a great job by taking him to hospital ASAP. Hope he will come back soon. Its hard time to be in such situation. Even a bravest man in the world would got frigten by snakes. There was saying in our area " By seeing a snake the whole army will get frighten" My prayers and best wishes for your co-workers to get well soon. Then hats off to you for your good work.

oh no, sorry to hear about your friend, good thing you were able to rush him to the hospital. Yes, it's true, green pit viper is a poisonous snake. I hope that your friend will recover soon. please update me if whatever happens. Thank you.

Goodness, I do hope he will be alright. Where was he at when he got bitten? I am glad someone was able to get him to the hospital right away. Keep us posted on his condition.

From the look of the photo, I never see such snake in my area, but probably from Discover channel. If that is poisonous and deadly, I pray for your co - worker, hopefully he can get through of it. I just wonder the environment of you work related to nature, that is why he got bitten. I hope he get well soon!

You really did a great job taking your friend to the hospital. Thats how we should help us each other at work and in such dire situations.

Hope your co-worker recovers from the snake bite. I almost experienced the same situation years ago. there was a time that when I entered the comfort room,a snake was coiled right in front of the door and was ready to bite me were it not for my instinct to cry out for help. Apparently, the snake came from the open pipes and it was my luck that some of the male workers were doing some job beside the room. They had a difficult time removing the snake but they had to do it before it bites anyone of the workers. Their next task was to cut down all the grass that has grown in the company grounds to prevent it from becoming a breeding ground for snakes. They also made the precautionary measure to seal all the open pipes to prevent a similar situation from occurring.
