Don'ts. Don't apply ice on the snake bite as the ice may block blood circulation. Don'tsuck the blood out with your mouth (germs in the mouth may cause infection in the bitewound) and you may be also exposing yourself to the venom.

When snake bite what should be done
Keep the victim calm, restrict movement.
Assure the victim and do not let him panic. When under panic, it will enhance heart rate and would circulate the venom faster in the body.
Remove any rings or constricting items; the affected area may swell.
Stop lymphatic spread of venom - bandage firmly, splint and immobilise. The limb, which has been affected by the bite, should be immobilized with splint. Victim to keep the hand as close to the level of the heart as possible - this reduces the flow of venom to major areas. A compression bandage (as firm as you would put on a sprained ankle) should cover the entire limb with the splint. The wrapping should start from the digits and extend till armpit in case of hands and groin in case of bite to the leg.
A snakebite victim is under tremendous psychological stress. It is necessary to keep the patient warm. However, no alcohol/hot beverages should be given.
•The patient should not be allowed to exert himself in any manner. Do not allow the victim to eat or to drink water in order to keep metabolism at low rate. No water No food is the golden rule.
• DO NOT COVER THE BITE AREA AND PUNCTURE MARKS. The wound should be gently cleaned with antiseptic.
• Try to aspirate the venom out of the puncture marks with standard suction devices. It has been identified that a suction more than 270 mmHg can initiate the flow from the puncture marks. Suction instruments often are included in commercial snakebite kits. But, the suction should be applied within 5 minutes of the bite.
The only remedy for venomous snakebite is the anti-venom serum, which is available at most government hospitals and public health centers. Some private nursing homes have also started stocking it and treat snakebite cases.
when snake bite what should not be done
No ice or any other type of cooling action on the bite. Research has shown it to be potentially harmful.
No electric cable, string or rubber tourniquets to be used, this cuts off blood flow completely and may result in amputation of the affected limb.
No electric shock, this method is under study and has yet to be proven effective. It could harm the victim.
No incision in the bite site. Such measures have NOT been proven useful and causes needless additional injury, loss of blood, infection, waste of time.
Do not burn the wound, as it would not have any effect on the venom, which has already entered the bloodstream.
Do not suck the wound with mouth. A suction device may be applied over the bite to help draw venom out of wound without making cuts.
Potassium permanganate should never be used.
