Do any of you fellows from real snake country remember an Outdoor Life article, maybe back in the '60's when it was worth reading, where they interviewed professional rattlesnake milkers from Texas (still wondering what you need snake venom for) and if they got bit, they would take a jumper wire from a gas engine ignition to zap the area around the bite. Claimed it reduced the pain and swelling and turned a snake bite to something not a whole lot worse than a bad bee sting.
