Emergency Snakebite Contacts – Venomous Snakes

The emergency Snakebite Contacts list is for emergency contact only. If you or someone you know has been envenomated by a snake and the symptoms are severe, you may want to email or call one of these expert resources to help you understand the treatment protocol that must be followed to ensure the well-being of the person bitten.

Please do NOT contact these resources for anything other than an emergency. They are surely working on other emergencies and do not have time to entertain your questions about “what if” this or that.

Contact these resources for Impending loss of life, or other serious situations ONLY! Thanks!
