Which first aid kit?

[Rocked and Loaded]

2 x snake bandages.

Here they are suitable for a bite from any of our snake species.

Bit different in Africa, where they are effective for neurotoxic bites (e.g., Mamba, Cobra) but generally not for use on cytotoxic bites (e.g., Puff Adder, Spitting Cobra).

Hopefully PH is not the one that is bitten and can offer the right guidance.

I wasn’t familiar with those and had to look them up. They seem to be recommended against in the US for pit viper bites but could be used for coral snakes.

Interesting.

The problem with snake serum is that it has to be kept cold

I think the snake bandages are a type of compression bandage.

You are right. But I think that they are only of a local character and that they only prevent infection of the wound and have very little effect on the poison itself. I say this but I'm not sure, I'm just guessing. In any case, you should have them
