A yellow-bellied sea snake bite is an incredibly rare medical emergency.

A yellow-bellied sea snake bite is rare but can be deadly if left untreated.

The symptoms of a bite can include severe pain at the site of the bite, swelling, nausea, vomiting, and muscle weakness.

Sometimes, difficulty breathing, paralysis, and even death can occur.

It is important to seek medical attention immediately if you suspect a yellow-bellied sea snake has bitten you.

While rare, it is always best to err on the side of caution and take any potential snake bite seriously.

Bites from animals or insects can be a scary and painful experience, but proper first-aid treatment can make a big difference in your recovery.

Cleaning the wound with soap and water and removing dirt or debris is the first step.

Calm the victim and keep them still

Remove any tight clothing or jewelry from the affected area to avoid restricting circulation.

Elevate the affected area and apply a sterile bandage or dressing to minimize swelling.
