Getting bitten by an eel, especially a moray eel, can be a painful and serious injury. Their bites are often deep, and some species have bacteria in their mouths that can lead to infections. Here’s what to do if you or someone else gets bitten:

Immediate First Aid
1. Get out of the water – If you’re diving, calmly ascend to avoid further injury or panic.
2. Control bleeding – Apply direct pressure with a clean cloth or bandage. Eel bites can be deep and may bleed a lot.
3. Rinse the wound – Use clean, fresh water if possible. Avoid seawater, which can introduce bacteria.
4. Disinfect – If available, use antiseptic (like hydrogen peroxide or iodine) to reduce infection risk.
5. Assess the wound – If it’s deep, gaping, or showing signs of tissue damage, seek medical attention.

Medical Attention
• Stitches? If the wound is deep, a doctor may need to close it.
• Antibiotics – Due to infection risks, a doctor might prescribe antibiotics.
• Tetanus shot – If you haven’t had one recently, you may need a booster.

Preventing Eel Bites
• Don’t reach into holes or crevices – Moray eels often bite when they feel cornered.
• Avoid feeding eels – They can mistake fingers for food.
• Stay calm and give them space – Eels aren’t aggressive unless provoked.
