If bitten
Stay calm (ya right)
If poisonous snake bite
Remove rings or jewelry on bitten arm or leg (toe ring?)
Don’t apply ice to site
Clean off with water
With pen or marker out line swelling around bite
If on an arm or leg wrap with cling or ace bandage sung but not tight enough to stop blood flow starting at the bite and working towards the body
Call 911
Call Florida poison center 1800-222-1222

+1 on the ace wrap, the venom should travel thru the lymphatic system and a tight arterial type tourniquet would make things worse and if possible/feasible ID or better yet bring the snake to the ER for a positive ID. if the snake gets you in a major artery or vein your pretty screwed, but don't give up.
