What’s a good protocol for a Corral Snake Bite? (Something that goes beyond “Make sure you’re good with God”). Since it causes paralysis of the respiratory system, is there something that would counteract that? Cayenne?
My notes from Doc’s module on managing venomous bites/stings gives no protocol for neutralizing the neurotoxins and cardiotoxins in elapid venom. Â Doc does teach that coral snake bites are very rare due to the snakes’ passive and reclusive habits. Â Also their small fangs make it impossible to penetrate heavy boots or clothing. Â About 2 dozen bites occur per year and that is usually people physically handling them. Â So make sure you’re good with God before picking one up bare-handed. Â Otherwise they don’t want to bother with you.
