Answer 1

The correct answer for slowing damage caused by a snake bite is to apply ice to the bite, option A. Your body slows down, including cell growth, when body temperatures drop. Immediately after you have been bitten, determine what type of snake it was, apply ice, and seek medical attention.

Answer 2

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The snake venom are harmful because they contain the enzymes that increases the rate of reaction that destroys blood cells and tissues.

The area should be kept clean and cool in order to extend the time of action of enzymes. Enzymes slow down its function when the temperature is low and works best at normal body temperature.

In this case ice should be applied on the affected area where the snake has bite to slow sown the enzyme action.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.
