Guy makes diary of his fatal snakebite.

How would you treat something like that if antivenin wasn't available?

Aside from cutting off the bitten extremity right away? Not much other than supportive care.

This is true. I know because I saw it on World War Z.

Killed a 4 ft rattlesnake in front of my house a few weeks ago. When that thing curled up in the strike position and started rattling, every hair on my body stood up. Scared the fucking shit out of me. So I pulled my car on up onto the sidewalk, pinned him down and went to town on his head with a shovel.

I laughed more heartily at this than I probably should have.
