| Re-Establishment of the Anti-Venom Depot - a Good Thing! |
| Government support for re-establishing the Anti-Venom Depot has ensured that a coordinated supply of product is available throughout the province in time for the summer of 2010. Re-establishment of the Depot means that frontline clinicians again have access to an appropriate and uniform treatment protocol. In addition, the Depot draws experts together with the intent to improve safe, quality patient care as we collectively learn more about the treatment of Massasauga rattlesnake bites. Be assured: we are prepared for bites with an adequate stock of anti-venom and after treatment we are collecting case information to improve for the future. In the meantime, should a bite occur call 911. |
| Rattlesnake Bite Prevention: |
- Wear protective footwear (such as hiking boots that cover the ankle) and long, loose fitting pants, especially when hiking at night or in open rocky areas, through brush or long grass.
- Use a flashlight when traveling at night.
- Always watch where you are putting your feet and hands. Poke around gently with a stick before reaching into brush, under rocks, or into dark places where snakes may be hiding.
- Keep pets on leashes; curious pets are more likely to encounter a snake than people.
- If you hear a rattlesnake, STAY CALM! Stop walking, and then determine the snake's location. Slowly move away from the snake and give it room to also move away. Enjoy the unique encounter but observe it from a distance and try not to disturb the snake.
Never pick up snakes or other wild animals. Do not harass, chase, or threaten a snake. For more information: www.massasauga.ca |
