Snake Bite
Immediately move away from the area where the bite occurred. If the snake is still attached use a stick or tool to make it let go.
Remove anything tight from around the bitten part of the body (e.g.: rings, anklets, bracelets) as these can cause harm if swelling occurs
Avoid traditional first aid methods, herbal medicines and other unproven or unsafe forms of first aid
Call Ambulance and transport the person to health facility as soon as possible
Paracetamol may be given for local pain
KEEP CALM !!!

Dog Bite
Wash the wound. Use mild soap, and run warm tap water over it for five to 10 minutes
Slow the bleeding with a clean cloth.
Apply over-the counter antibiotic cream if you have it.
Wrap the wound in a sterile bandage
Keep the wound bandaged and see your doctor as soon as possible
Watch for signs of infection, including redness, swelling, increased pain and fever.
Fracture
If the person is unconscious, has difficulty breathing or is bleeding severely, these must be dealt with first, by controlling the bleeding with direct pressure and performing CPR.
If the person is conscious, prevent any further pain or damage by keeping the fracture as still as possible until you get them safely to hospital.
If it's obvious they have a broken leg, don't move them, but keep them in the position you found them in and phone an ambulance
If you suspect they have injured or broken his back, don't move him and phone an ambulance
Don't give the casualty anything to eat or drink, because they may need an anaesthetic (numbing medication) when they reach hospital.
Get medical help As-soon-as-possible
Bee Bite
Wash the sting site with soap and water. Icing the sting site is the most effective way to reduce venom absorption. It also can help reduce swelling.
If a honeybee stings you remove the stinger immediately with the edge of your fingernail or the edge of a credit card, this helps curb the amount of toxins released into your skin.
If you experience any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, hives, or dizziness, call your local emergency services. Don’t attempt to drive yourself to the emergency room.
Nose Bleeding
Sit down and firmly pinch the soft part of your nose, just above your nostrils, for at least 10-15 minutes
Lean forward and breathe through your mouth – this will drain blood into your nose instead of down the back of your throat
Place an ice pack or bag of frozen vegetables covered by a towel on the bridge of your nose
Stay upright, rather than lying down, as this reduces the blood pressure in the blood vessels of your nose and will discourage further bleeding
Blood Vomiting
Call an ambulance or go directly to the nearest emergency department!!!
Be calm and reach and get medical help as soon as possible.
Ankle Sprain
Rest the ankle
Compress (wrap) the ankle lightly -- not tightly -- with an elastic bandage or ankle brace
Go to the emergency room if you have any of the following symptoms: Severe pain, bruising, or severe swelling Bleeding, numbness, or change in color of the affected area Your ankle looks deformed or seems dislocated You can't put any weight on it
Chest Pain
Call ambulance or emergency medical assistance
Lie down in a comfortable position with your head up
If you have regular adult aspirin, chew one (as long as you are not allergic to aspirin). Chewing more than one will not do any good and may cause unwanted side effects.
Choking
Give 5 back blows.
Give 5 abdominal thrusts
Alternate between 5 blows and 5 thrusts
Electric Shock
Turn off the source of electricity, if possible. If not, move the source away from you and the person, using a dry, nonconducting object made of cardboard, plastic or wood.
Call Ambulance Immidiately
Begin CPR if the person shows no signs of circulation, such as breathing, coughing or movement
Try to prevent the injured person from becoming chilled.
Apply a bandage. Cover any burned areas with a sterile gauze bandage, if available, or a clean cloth. Don't use a blanket or towel, because loose fibers can stick to the burns
Heart Attack
Call Ambulance Immidiately
If you can't get an ambulance or emergency vehicle to come to you, have a neighbor or a friend drive you to the nearest hospital. Drive yourself only if you have no other option.
Chew and swallow an aspirin while waiting for emergency help. Aspirin helps keep your blood from clotting.
Begin CPR if the person is unconscious.
