Duckear, I sent a copy of the California findings to the Sawyer factory and ask for their response/comments. If they reply, I will post the reply here. One unanswered question was why they waited three minutes before beginning the procedure. Venom can move a lot in three minutes. Also, they just tested it on mock snake venom but made no mention of tests on various insect bites/stings.
I am not totally convinced that it is worthless at this point but I appreciate your input.
