Can any African Medics or any MDs chime in here...in the US with on or two exceptions, our venomous snakes are hemotoxic, and our protocals are a loose dressing and transport...then antivenom as needed. An Aussie medic I'm friends with says they use wide occlusive bands on bites there due to the probability of a neuotoxic venom....what are the first aid protocals in on the Dark Continent...and lets be adults and skip the "John..he said you were gonna die" jokes please.
