A brown recluse bite will bleed profusely with suction, and we have had very good results with no necrosis. These kits are no good for snake bites, though. The venom is too deep in your hide to pull out any meaningful amount with suction. I guess you need John Wayne if a rattler gets you.David aka True Blue Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06221281748612938132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682078904522318145.post-80846033944460955472015-07-25T23:00:02.939-07:002015-07-25T23:00:02.939-07:00Thanks both TBS & Merle..

I now feel his pain and it's no less than I'd imagined. <br /><br />I mostly slept OK last night sans pain meds. Not sure if a "snake bite" kit would help as the volume of venom would seem to be minuscule. This critter was in the 1"-1.25" class. Just how much venom might such a creature inject?<br /><br />I woke this AM with continued tingles in the tagged toe, but mostly no other affects. Tingles continued until late PM. now nothing.<br /><br />Thanks all for the support.<br />dannohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18237275836879887457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682078904522318145.post-10783817600504915132015-07-25T16:37:13.510-07:002015-07-25T16:37:13.510-07:00OUCH !!!

I think they would be good for scorpion stings, too, but I'm not signing up to test that idea.David aka True Blue Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06221281748612938132noreply@blogger.com
