What do we do after a garter snake bites someone?

Question

The bite of a garter snake isn't poisonous; it just gives a swelling or a rash.

Answer 1

Wash off the bite site & then go get a pizza.

Answer 2

It's a puncture wound, so definitely don't use hydrogen peroxide or alcohol. I'd simply recommend a quick call to your doctor, he/she'll know what to do!

Answer 3

i get biten by them all the time i am 13 and nothing has ever happened to me

Answer 4

They are't poisonous (as you've said), so you'll most likely be okay.

If you're really worried about getting a rash or something, then you can use natural antiseptic - wild garlic is the best, and most common. Just cut the bulb in half and squeeze juice into the bite.

You'll be fine.

Answer 5

Answer 8

Keep walking. I've been bit by garters, lined snakes, earth snakes, rat snakes, racers, milk snakes, and corn snakes. I'm still alive. If you know it's venomous though - don't get bit. If it's non-venomous I catch it no matter what, if it's venomous I use a snake stick.
