Snake Bites?

[Newanderthal]

hospitals rarely use anti-venom as the reactions can be worse than the bite symptoms. Also, it must be administered quickly and usually it's too late when the victim arrives. They typically stabilize the patient and treat the symptoms.

rattlesnakes, moccasins and copperheads all use necrotic venom which is very similar. The anti-venom is the same for all of them since the venom is roughly the same (potency varies). Coral snakes are the exception, but anti0venom is rare for them since there's only 2 facilities in the country that carry it.

As stated in the article, Sawyer extractors haven't been proven to do anything and if you talk to a snake expert, they'll laugh at the mention of them. Get on kingsnake.com and speak to some of the guys who breed venomous snakes.
