spider, tick and snake were investigated by researchers with using a check list
improved by them. International guidelines on first aid applications were used
in the formation of the check list. It has shown that the information on the web pages included in this
study is limited in the context of evidence-based concept and recommendations
from the latest guidelines. Traditional applications have been taking place in
some of web pages. It has been shown that information about first aid for
