re: Have you ever tried to suck out venom from a buddy's snake bite?

I understand. But sometimes you have to ante up and kick in and confront your nemesis. He has already injected whatever venom he had into you. The second bite is meaningless and only him showing off and taunting you. I mean yeah, them fangs are gonna hurt but you have to walk through the wall of pain into the eye of the storm to survive. Be a winner. Be a leader. Do what it takes. Suck it up and Hammerdown.

The first bite can be meaningless too. If the doc is doing it right you're only taken in for observation after a snakebite and antivenom only administered if you're showing symptoms.

Adult snakes don't always inject a full dose of venom. It takes time for the body to manufacture more. Baby snakes aren't so good at striking and almost always use their full supply.

Hopefully useless nature knowledge, you're welcome.
