We learned about this method from hearing about a missionary to the Amazon
who was bitten by a usually fatal pit viper but survived after being
shocked by the boat battery. Some medical people will tell you this is not
a good way to treat a sting and not always effective. In our family,
though, it beats an expensive ER trip, and is quick.

I've read about using electrical shock to detoxify poison. Apparently the electricity changes the molecular structure of the protein that is the poison. As I recall, one places electrodes on each side of the poison injection site and zaps it with the electricity. I haven't tried it.

Take care of yourself.

Thank you. I usually do. The side of the finger opposite the sting site seems to be regaining nerve sensitivity.

I know that pride goeth before the fall and all that, but I really do heal well. I know this because that's what the doc said upon cutting off the necrotic tissue a couple or three months after the snake bite. Pretty pink new tissue underneath.

This superior healing condition is the result of eating and drinking only the finest.

No beer before its time.

IT'S TIME!
