I do know that some people carry one of those hand held electric shockers which are designed for self defense as a treatment for snake bite. The idea is that the current breaks down the chains of protein in the venom.

The theory has been under investigation for some years, but as far as I know there has not been anything decided or published about the effectiveness of the treatment......which is why I don't carry one myself. Once it's been proven to work then I'll buy one, until then, I'll stick with the traditional treatment of immobilising the limb and getting qualified medical help asap.

I can't help but feel that if I was on the ground writhing about in agony from a snakebite the last thing I'd want to see is some bugger coming towards me with one of those things in his hands!!
