Interesting article. He left me after about paragraph 1 with confusing contradictory advise. Over heart unless a rattler even with heart but moccasin below until you get to the hospital where all bites are diagnosed so your picture doesn't help unless you couldn't find the right hospital and the one your at follows antiquated techniques so just don't do anything and pray to God where ever your going the staff has never seen a snake bite so you can show them this article and maybe live.
Point is new knowledge ain't always best knowledge. Every hospital I know if knows how to treat bites that come in with conventional first aide. This guy might the guru but even he is unconvinced that anyone else out there can follow procedure. I'll stick to the mainstream treatment that every Texas doctor has seen until this guys techniques are mainstream.
