A device for treating a snake bite wound that utilizes a hypodermic tube with a curvature that is similar to a typical snake fang whereby the hypodermic tube on one end comprises a smooth bulbous tip with at least one opening and a vacuum source is attached to the other end of the ...
not only a Master Herpetologist & National Wildlife Control Operator, but also a Firefighter, Advanced EMT, CPR/BLS Instructor, and EMS Instructor, so our education programs include information about snake bites and first aid treatment. You can even learn how snake venom is used in medication!
First aid treatments for poisonous snake bites may include a suction pump to extract the venom. The bitten limb is said to be best kept below heart level. Whereas people used to try to suck out the venom by mouth or try to cut the bite site on the skin with a knife, these are now ...

(SVDK). Over the years, various detections tests have been developed, with the immunological-reaction-basedenzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method being the most widely used. However, in recent times various other techniques, such as optical immunoassays (OIA), venom/antibody microarray ...
