When I was last taught about snake bites in Australia, we were told to immobilize the limb by wrapping a bandage around the entire limb (of course this means you have to have a bandage at hand - I think the message was that you ideally should have one when you hike around where you're likely to meet snakes) tightly enough so that the limb can't move much and the poison doesn't spread, but not too tight to stop the blood flow. Also, with Australian snakes it is apparently sufficient to just wear long trousers made out of a reasonably strong fabric, since their fangs are too short to get through those (in contrast to most Asian, European or American snakes!).
Detachable Felix:
Full limb compression is the way to go for snake bites, yeah.
And sure, the snakes here have relatively short fangs, but you try wearing long trousers in an Australian summer :P

Given the "Emily enjoys messing with Sam" note, I'd say the latter, but she's doing so by speaking her mind. She might well be oblivious to whatever effect these observations might have on Marten.

Been there, do that. The bosses get mildly annoyed, since my job involves physical labour in the outside heat. But snakes are uncommon in the city areas, so there is that.

--- End quote ---
Yes.
