Out of interest, what about anti-venom kits? I don't see these mentioned. I am sure the PH mentioned that this was included in the vehicle kit when I was out in RSA.

Are they routinely carried by outfitters, if not, why not? Any particular reason? Maybe because you need to be qualified to use them or because there is enough time to get to a hospital? ( I would think this unlikely ).

I ask out of curiosity because being allergic to animal proteins the serum will probably kill me quicker than the snake bite, so what would happen in a situation like that?
