That statement will cost lives!

Stun guns work well if used immediately.

They dramatically simplify the complex protiens of the venom instantly if done correctly.

If you wait,and allow the venom to spread, there is no way it will work, as the blood moves rapidly.

I’ve used a stun gun on myself 3 times, and each time it reduced the venom to an insignificant mild toxin.

For a while I was stirring up rattlers every spring when I mowed our meadows. Now there are far fewer of them around.

Wouldn't it have been simpler, and less painful, to use the stun gun on the snakes ?

“That statement will cost lives! Stun guns work well if used immediately.”

Real-world experience means nothing to someone buried deeply in well-supported theory.
