RE: Killing my buddy

in Outdoors and more13 days ago

Well now, I say that in my post actually, about knowing how to use a kit.

Anyway, yeah Australia has a lot of deadly snakes and other stuff (google it) but they generally only bite tourists from Europe and America. Ok, not really, they bite all tourists.

As for the snake bite kit...it's not antivenom at all (quite obviously I would have thought), it's about other stuff, pressure bandages, black permanent marker, emergency blanket, splint, antiseptic wipes and so on.

The marker is to identify the bite area on the bandage, time of bite and patient name.

I don't figure you'd know much about it considering the last venomous snake found in Europe was back when the dinosaurs walked the land.

And yours buddy's 😀

Yeah, he got bit...well, he bit himself actually, but that counts!
