SOME FREE THOUGHTS – I was treated in the emergency ward of St Al’s Hospital in Boise, Idaho for a bad yellow jacket sting in the face. In the 18 hours of getting back to town, it had gotten into the eye, ear, throat and neck. The attending physician was the resident expert for bee stings and rattlesnake bites.

My opinion based on his advise -

1. It is a vacuum pump. It cannot hurt anything.
2. If it removes any percentage of the venom it is good.
3. Time is of the essence. Think in seconds, not minutes.
4. Practice: quick draw, Providone swab, shave, pump.
5. Replace the razor with a Twin Blade Schick
6. Double dosage of Benadryl
7. Bandage with wet pack of Adolph’s Meat Tenderizer.
8. Don’t waste time getting to a trauma center if you can.
9. If you can’t get out, turn on the PLB and leave a note.
10. Cook and eat the damn snake
