I'm not an expert. I would just be interested in knowing how many snake bite survivors did not receive antivenin, and survived entirely by sitting still for three days.

I've been stung by many a honeybee. I know I have no allergic reaction to them. An uncomfortable experience, yes, but for me personally I'm more worried about snakes and spiders and scorpions.
