Hematologic score may be counted if available, but inclusion should not wait for laboratory results. GI or Renal categories will not count for inclusion. A qualifying SSS inclusion score may be either: 2 points in any single SSS inclusion category AND at least 1 point in any other SSS inclusion category OR >= 3 in any single SSS inclusion category 2. Index event (snakebite) must be symptomatic and must have occurred within 8 hours of eligibility assessment. 3. Is willing (or legally authorized representative is willing) to provide informed consent prior to initiation of any study procedures.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Has received antivenom treatment for envenoming prior to enrollment in this study. 2.
