I recently watched this YouTube documentary about a Borneo tribe, barely clinging onto their traditional ways/knowledge (displaced by the logging industry) who used a plant as a supposedly universal snake bite remedy ... I wonder if there was ever a scientific study of how effective it actually is?<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiQBTesZUJQ" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiQBTesZUJQ</a>
I live in an area with tons of rattlesnakes and deal with at least 6-10 per year on my property. They generally just want to be left alone which I usually oblige unless they are near the house or shop. I heard an old timer say that the majority of snake bite victims in our area are young males and the most common pre-bite words are "hold my beer, watch this."
