Does this work for snakes that produce neurotoxic venom like a coral snake? Fortunately they don’t bite too often.
I had a patient that got bit by a coral snake. He was treating a house for termites and there was a weed blocking him. He reached down to pull it out and drew back his hand with coral snake dangling from the skin fold between his thumb and index finger. He beheaded the snake with wire cutters, so a positive identification was able to be made.
I took over his care in the ICU about 4 hours later. His paralysis was developing but stable. Luckily, the local zoo was one of the biggest producers of antivenin. He made a good recovery.
The snake’s body was in a suction canister at his bedside.
