For years we carried those snake bit kits that you'd use to cut small holes across the bites and suck out the venom. Now they say that those caused more damage than the bites because of how they were misused. The tourniquets were usually used too tight and cut off the blood supply causing some serious damage. Now they just say to stay calm and get to a doctor. That's easy to say for someone in an office. Not so much 5 miles from the road and no cell service.
Exactly. Yeah some people misused those kits but if you had proper training they worked well. Everybody's scared of their own shadow and they tell people do nothing. Well if you do nothing for too long it ain't good!
