almost have to laugh at this.....almost....if yah can get to the hospital or antivenin and someone that knows how to use it you can live through a mamba bit most of the time....however, given they have highly neurotoxic venom, if your feeling the effects of the venom and your more than 90 minutes from the antivenin yourself, ill defiantly go with the thought of just making itself comfortable cause your chances really arent very good....
