Helplines

Many countries have a national poison information helpline or a renowned individual connected to a helpline or medical facilities who can assist in the event of any bite or sting. These contacts offer a free service to the general public and medical professionals. They can advise medical professionals (or connect you to a medical professional who can) as well as the use of antivenom and sourcing antivenom. As a first responder, if have an questions or require advice, please make use of these contacts.
