Snake bite pictures

Introduction

The types of wound one can aquire can be either chronic or not chronic. The picture below is an example of a chronic wound which probably has caused the patient a lot of pain. The scar to the left is completely healed while the large scar is not completely healed yet.

Necrosis

Snake bites are often accompanied by necrosis where the tissue around the site of the bite slowly dies. The picture below shows how widespread the necrosis can be in severe cases. It depends on how venomous the snake that caused the bite is.

Common symptoms from snake bites

The most common ways to realize that a snake has bit you is if you experience symptoms of:
