What is the best way to treat a snake bite in the field?

Cut the wound and suck out the poison
Apply ice to the wound
Keep the victim calm and immobile and get medical help
Wrap a tight tourniquet above the bite

The correct answer is: Keep the victim calm and immobile and get medical help

In the event of a snake bite in the field, the best way to treat it is to keep the victim calm and immobile and seek immediate medical assistance. This is because moving too much can spread the venom faster throughout the body. By keeping the victim calm and still, you can slow down the spread of the venom until professional medical help is available. Remember that attempting to suck out the poison or applying a tourniquet can actually do more harm than good, as they can lead to infection or further tissue damage. Ice is also not recommended as it can cause additional tissue damage. The key is to prioritize getting the victim to proper medical treatment as quickly as possible while keeping them as calm and still as you can.
