In some regions, lemon seeds have been used as a traditional first aid remedy for snakebites. While not a substitute for medical care, this method is part of folk practice and can be applied as an initial measure while seeking professional help.
- Clean the wound carefully using a 0.9% saline solution. Avoid squeezing or pressing the area, as this can force venom into the bloodstream more rapidly.
- Prepare a lemon seed decoction.
Boil about 20 grams of fresh or dried lemon seeds, then allow the liquid to cool slightly. Have the victim drink the decoction to aid in detoxification. - Apply the residue to the bite wound.
After boiling, crush the remaining lemon seed pulp and place it directly on the wound to help neutralize the venom. - For unconscious victims:
If the patient is unconscious but able to swallow safely, mix lemon seed powder with a small amount of water and administer it carefully. Simultaneously, apply crushed lemon seed pulp externally to the wound. - Transport immediately to a hospital for further monitoring and antivenom treatment, regardless of home remedies used.
Important Notes and Precautions
- The lemon seed remedy is based on traditional practice and may be used for adults and children over three years old, with dosage adjusted by age and condition.
- This method should never replace professional medical treatment. Snake venom is extremely dangerous and can cause rapid systemic effects that require antivenom therapy and hospital management.
- Always prioritize rapid transport to a medical facility after administering first aid.
