been a great discussion....as i said to start with from my slightly above average understanding of how venom works(granted im far from an expert) i can not understand how the electrical shock works and i have never run across a single thing to truly explain to me why it may work.....lots on anecdotal evidence suggesting it might but nothing to tell me why.....because of this i aint convinced it works......HOWEVER if other treatment isnt available in the long run(or short run depending on snake species grin ) i dont see how your going to do any more damage by getting shocked and out in the bush i sure in the hell aint going to pass up such a treatment if its handy, as i said, i believe it beats the hell out of doing nothing at all...
