---------------------------------
Yep, those are the specs on the Abrams site:
" Treatment consists of using a modified stun gun that
will produce
25 kilovolts at less than 350 milliamps. Because of
the deep penetration of the venom of the BR
spider it is necessary to shock "through the tissue"
rather than surface shock only. This is
accomplished by means of a jumper cable attached to
one pole of the stun gun that will reach to
the opposite side of the extremity. The central area
as well as the surrounding area of erythema
is shocked 6 to 8 times. This is like getting a shock
from an electric fence and is tolerated quite
well by most all patients."
I suppose that doesn't mean they're right though, and
yep that's 8750 watts alright. Come to think of it, I
don't relish the full power of a 10-12 HP generator
going through me.
James- I will search the archives for your previously
posted info about this.
