That time of year. Snakes are out again.

Stay calm and dial 911. You don't want to move around much if at all to help prevent the venom from spreading throughout your body and blood stream. If you're lucky, the snake won't inject any venom in the bite. Tie a bandage 2-4 inches above the bite. This will slow the blood flow and prevent venom entering your system.

okay, cool. Cause I'm about 20 mins from Burleson. Thanks

F that! Pull out your pocket knife and your flask. Take a big swig first to calm your nerves. Then, grab a small stick. Splash a little whiskey on the knife to sterilize it. Place the stick in your mouth and bite down so you don't bite your tongue. Then use the knife to make small cuts where the bite is and the venom entered the blood stream. Spit out the stick, take small swig of whiskey, and then begin to suck the poison out. Don't swallow. Spit it out. Take another small swig of whiskey about every third time you spit. Once you're sure you have the venom out, then get up and kill the snake for dinner. Be a man. I saw John Wayne do that in a ton of movies.

In a life threatening situation whatever you do, don't listen to this guy. Do NOT attempt to cut an "X" over bite and attempt to suck the poison out. Your mouth has so much gunk and bacteria in your saliva the wound is surely going to be infected. However, John Wayne was quite the bad ass.

LOL, I was watching Swamp Wars the other night, they said the same thing. Do NOT suck the poison out, ever!

Screw catching, dealing, looking, seeing, touching, cropping, posting, talking about snakes!!!!!!!! I hate those muffukers.

Dumpy's backyard hates me... A damned python was in his pool a few weeks ago. I did all i could to not antagonize it. I was also 20 foot away and shaking like a leaf. Jim, IM staying in the house for now on!

What the hell do you think the shot of whiskey you drink does? It kills the bacteria and "gunk" as you call it. If it's good enough for John Wayne, then it's good enough for anyone. Stop being a sandy vagina!

Alcohol only cleans the surface but I could be wrong. I got cut by a hog last month and cleaned it with alcohol then tried to give it a few days and it still got infected so it's not for certain.

Beer doesn't count. You need real whiskey, minimum 90 proof. Why were you in a knife fight with a hog anyway? Use a gun next time!

[Jwp]

Hell I used rubbing alcohol, lol. I had the pleasure of dispatching some hogs after a kids event so we couldn't shoot them inside the arena. I had to get the dogs to catch the pig one at a time then let the air out of it's lungs.... Only had a pocket knife on me. After day three my arm looked like a balloon and felt that way from the infection, lost most mobility in my hand/arm up to the elbow.

Did the ER trip cost about $100?

[Jwp]

Nope, I wasn't that fortunate. Only a few hundred dollars, two different kinds of pain killers, antibiotics and they gave me a shot. Hogs sure are nasty critters!
