Medical experts say that the proverbs that should not believe everything they read in social media conveys a special weight on the viral claim that children’s Benadryl Allergy Medicine can save the bite bite.
Teton County Coroner Dr. Dr. Brent Blue said, “Rumors about Benadryl (rumors about Benadryl) are full novels: Dr. Brent Blue told Cowboy State Daily.
It is shared with serious medical advice in areas known to have numerous Wioming community social media groups, especially the drop snakes.
He said that as soon as possible, only appropriate medical treatment can save someone from terrible injuries or death.
claim
The claim is that the potentially fatal effects of the drip snake bite are swelling.
Therefore, the claims proceed because the victims can help reduce swelling and increase the possibility of survival.
Some online posters are recommended to include a bottle of liquid children’s benadry in the pack if people heading for outdoor adventures in a rattles snake country.
There is no truth about it
In the case of snakes, packaging allergic drugs is a terrible advice, Blue said.
“I will not believe it at all,” he said.
While the poison bitten by a bite is toxin, allergic drugs are designed to affect the body in a completely different way against the allergic antigens, he said.
Blue said that the toxins of the rattles of poison are unpleasant things.
He added, “It is basically a poison that causes tissue destruction.”
Blue said that the toxin of the rattlesnake Venom kills the muscle tissue through the cell walls of each muscle cell.
He also added that it could interfere with the ability to coagulate and slow blood cells and to stop bleeding.
Drop the benadryl and catch tornique
The terrible thing is as terrible as the rattlesnake Venom is not as bad as the poison of some snake species in Africa. This includes neurotoxic poisoning, which can close the human nervous system and die quickly.
But Blue said, however.
The best behavior process in an emergency is to apply the stomach over the bite area to prevent blood flow from spreading toxins throughout the body.
It can live about an hour more to go to the hospital.
Allergic drugs do completely different things
Blue said that allergic drugs will do nothing about the destruction of the tissue caused by the bite of the circle. These drugs are designed to fight against dysfunction called mast cells.
When they work normally, the mast cells perform functions such as healing wounds or fighting pathogens.
But allergies can cause mast cells to release chemicals called histamine, Blue said.
Histamine can cause symptoms such as snow, runny nose, cough, thousand people and skin irritation, he said.
In the simplest term, allergic drugs such as Benadryl are blocking the unwanted release of histamine, Blue said. And it has nothing to do with delaying or stopping tissue destruction caused by a rattling snake poison.
How much time do the bite victims have?
Blue said that there is no decisive answer because a lot of variables will be active, how much time they have done after someone bite to Rattler.
The short answer is: Don’t waste it for a while, go to the hospital as soon as possible.
The variable starts with the bite itself.
Blue said, “Sometimes it does not release poison when the rattles are asked.” “Sometimes it releases a little poison. Sometimes it releases a large amount of poison.”
Another variable is a bite, he said.
In a state of bite on your feet or ankles, it will take more time to hit the area where the toxin is more important than the toxin bite.
Blue said the victim’s body size can make a difference.
“If you have a poison of ‘X’, it will cause more problems with a 50 -pound child than a 250 pound adult.”
He said that one fact is true in general. He said that the pain continues to deteriorate as the lurl Snake bite hurts like hell and more organizations are destroyed.
“Pain can’t kill you, but you can die.”
At first avoid the bite
BLUE is the best way to fight the bite of the rattles, Blue said. When hiking in a snake country, it is a good idea to wear a gter that snakes enter the anti -boots or ankles.
He is amazed and amazed to keep it too close to the snake.
As long as BenadryL rumors proceed, Blue said it would be good if it was true.
“I hope it will work. Because we can hold Benadryl anywhere,” he said.
