recent post on snakes reminded me of something I had wondered. The people I work with that have spent time in africa carry snakebite kits with them this basicly consists of a type of syringe with a cup on the end. The idea is you place the cup over the bite and the syringe sucks the area causing it to bulge out and cause a big hickey. does anyone know anything about there effectiveness? they are certainly not in the first aid book (limblength compression bandage splint etc)
