[QUOTE="K9TXS, post: 2829252, member: 85208"] Interesting article and good information. Funny this came up now. I was getting my yearly physical and my doc and I were talking about snake bites. I asked him about an extractor and he did not recommend its use. He did recommend cleaning the wound as the article described. This is how he described it. Once bitten, the poison is in your bloodstream. The extractor would probably not get anything out by the time you get to the point of actually using it. He compared it to getting ready for surgery. Once prepped, the anesthesiologist injects you with whatever cocktail he's using to put you out. Within seconds your lights out. So using an extractor to suck out the poison is pretty useless.
