Some snake venoms are harmful because they contain enzymes that increase the rate of a reaction that destroys blood cells and tissue cells. The damage caused by such a snakebite could best be slowed down by

drinking large amounts of water in order to hydrate the cells
elevating the bite area in order to increase the number of blood cells present
