i fully agree with your assessment......and if i get bit by a rattler here that is exactly my plan....most of this discussion however has been centered around what in the hell are yah going to do out in the bush when bitten by a very deadly species and your much farther away from a hospital and capable doctor than its gonna take the venom to kill yah such as with a mamba where the venom kills within an hour 9 times out of 10.....in such a case i say shock the hell out of me....if it dont work aint like im likely to live anyway....
Consider that the shock of a cattle prod might cause your muscles to spasm and push blood and venom farther into your vascular system...
The shock might also bring about a rise in your pulse rate and blood pressure as well....
