Renee,

     20,000 mg of Vit. C per hour are needed to neutralize snake venom... it 
can be ingested as well as IV.

        I've been talking with a lady from Australia that says an IV of vit. C 
has saved many dogs lives after getting bitten by extremely poisonous snakes 
there.  Usually these bites are fatal, so it is important to get that IV right 
away.  But I had not thought of vit. C for snake bites before.

        Samala,
        Renee

        I've never been nailed by a brown recluse - yet - but have been
        interested in therapies for various venomous critters since rattlers,
        scorpions, black widows and some pretty nasty hornets and ants live
        hereabout.  One of these therapies is a remedy for normally 100% fatal
        snake bites, and for the moment I can't remember the species or the
        location other than semi-tropical.
