    Australian here, you DO NOT raise a snake bite! Snake bites should have pressure and always be below the heart to slow distribution of the venom through the blood stream. Also don’t move and wait for help.

    Lol, but don’t do that. That’s for a regular wound. For a snake bite, you want to keep the wound below the heart, so gravity is helping keep the venom from spreading in the blood.
