I was reading through the Sherpa Guides for Georgia looking for new places to hike and camp. In their safety in the mountains section they offer this snake bite treatment.
In serious snake-bite cases, consider staying put and calling for evacuation by helicopter or by local search and rescue teams. A high-tech solution is a jolt to the bite from a stun gun; but get acquainted with this technique before attempting it. Electricity appears to destroy most venoms.
Anyone ever hear of this "high-tech" solution? My pack weighs enough as it is without adding a stun gun to the first aid kit.
