No. This is a dangerous myth . Sucking out the venom is not only useless, but it can worsen the wound and cause infections. Furthermore, if the person sucking it out has open sores in their mouth, they are also exposing themselves to the venom.
Never try to cut, suck, or burn the wound. These practices are outdated and harmful.
Possible consequences after the bite
Although fatal cases from viper bites are very rare, they can occur:
- Severe swelling
- Tissue necrosis
- Changes in skin color (purple, black)
- Difficulty moving the limb
- In older people, deep scarring or skin retraction may occur.
