8. If you think you’re being followed, turn right four times. Since you’ll get to the same place, they shouldn’t be following you anymore.

10. Despite what we have seen on TV, sucking out venom from a bite might be a bad idea. It can be dangerous as it can help the venom to spread and damage the skin around the bite.
