Australian here, you DO NOT raise a snake bite! Snake bites should have pressure and always be below the heart to slow distribution of the venom through the blood stream. Also don't move and wait for help.

Yeah I was gonna say.

This is a funny meme and stuff but this isn't something people joke about in Australia.

If someone gets bit there's enough pandemonium without some idiot doing the wrong first aid.

Lol, but don't do that. That's for a regular wound. For a snake bite, you want to keep the wound below the heart, so gravity is helping keep the venom from spreading in the blood.
