Great affordable product
When You live in a place with poisonous snakes, it is a MUST to keep handy. 2008-08-04




For your own good, please don't buy this product
As a biologist who has worked extensively with rattlesnakes (though I currently study scorpions), I can tell you that this product is worse than useless. The suction is too weak, and doctors specializing in wilderness medicine (Forgey, Auerbach, and others) recommend not using a restriction bandage or scalpel (both included in this kit), as they will do more harm than good in the case of a rattlesnake bite. The ONLY product they recommend is the Sawyer Extractor. Look it up. While it's a few bucks more than this product, it has much more powerful suction (an actually useful amount), and has been clinically shown to mitigate some of the effects of a venomous snakebite. It's available on Amazon, but often available cheaper locally at your giant wallyworld or other local supercenter, in the camping section. 2007-06-21
