I guess they don’t tell you to put on a tourniquet around your leg and have someone suck out the poison with their mouth anymore.
Growing up in the country, we were taught to cut the skin and make an X over the bite with a very sharp knife, then the tourniquet above the bite and then have someone suck the poison out. Also told not to run at all or walk very far as this could cause the poison to spread through your body quicker.
Guess it has changed?
“Doc says you’re gonna die.”
Sounds like the new approach is “Dear God, don’t let me die. “
What happened to the tourniquet, cutting two “X”s over the punctures, and sucking out the poison?
