Drug boosts snakebite survival time by half.

The link is under the words above. Basically, it's an ointment with nitric oxide you smear around the bite.

SWEET! Lets get some Joe. Those hills we climbed are sure to have some rattlers and copperheads. I dont think you could carry my big butt back to the truck.

Sounds like something good to have!

Interesting. I wonder if it works on the venom of that Most poisonous Rattler in North America... Our Local Mojave Green???? That baby has a powerful neurotoxin that often requires 35 to 50 injections to stop it's destructive damage.. if you are 30 minutes or more from a Hospital, it's best just make your peace with the world.. it will kill you that quickly.
And thought smaller, the Mojave Green is as aggressive as a Cottonmouth. I know a Young man who was bitten by a Green 3 years ago, it was touch and go for a week for him pulling thru. the bite area has these sizable scares from where the venom seemed to eat his skin & Muscle... Scary!!!

Man, D_D, I had a black eye the next day from where that stick whacked me. I need to start carrying around something for when I hit myself in the face, lol.
