I remember back in the late 50’s or maybe 60’s an Army Ranger training at Eglin AFB was bitten by a coral snake. They literally had a jet fighter fly in anti-venom from New Orleans. The guy survived.
“I remember back in the late 50’s or maybe 60’s an Army Ranger training at Eglin AFB was bitten by a coral snake.”
In basic at Ft.Polk the instruction for most snake bites, the Rattler, the Cottonmouth, and the Copperhead was to summon a drill Sargent immediately in an effort to save our life, they also instructed us that if we were bit by a Coral snake, to just sit down, light a cigarette and die.
