What should you do if you get bit by a garter snake?

Garter snakes are non-poisonous and not very dangerous as their mouths are so small, it is actually difficult to receive a bite. However it is possible to get bitten on the toe, finger, or webbing between your fingers.

Treat a garter snake bite as you would treat any other puncture wound - clean it thoroughly and see a doctor for a tetanus shot if you haven't had one lately.
