What is appropriate first aid for poisonous snake bites?
"If someone is bitten by a poisonous snake, the bitten area should be immobilized and the victim transported to a hospital as quickly as possible. The bitten area should be washed with soap and water. A wide constriction bandage (tourniquet) may be applied two to four inches upstream of the bitten area (if on an extremity) so long as the pressure is not too tight (one or two fingers should be able to slide under the band). Overly tight tourniquets should never be used as these can block arterial blood flow to the affected area and worsen tissue damage."
Found this here - I imagine there are differences in opinion about this, but there ya go.

Around here they tell people to not use tourniquet. It makes sense since non-trained people have a good chance to cause more damage than help this way.

Boy Scout learnin' was to immobilize the bitten limb as well. First aid training was changing all the time, but if I remember correctly the currently they're taught to avoid using tourniquets at all.

Unnecessary facepalm for really mild and not all that inappropriate teasing.
