Perfectly sums up the foolishness being created.

Can we really say anything about how stupid it was to have 2 army lines walk into each other shooting IE Civil War?
I imagine every civilization contained this much stupidity.
People are live streaming their crimes as they run over people these days.

Venomous shake bite aftermaths are gnarly as hell. Does every hospital in places with them have tons of anti venom in the fridge?

No. It's stupid expensive. You're better off finding it at a vet hospital in those area tbh. Paso Robles, CA area is LOADED with rattlers. Local vets have it on hand. Local hospital in Templeton (next town over) rarely has more than a single dose on hand.

No, and it's deliberate imo.

They put snakebite juice or egg cells in every flu vaccine.
But can't spring for it in a fridge in an ER at every hospital where they're prevalent?
Bullshit.

I'm in a place where they are.
I called every hospital within an hour, no snakebite juice, in 2024.
Not 1864....1974.....2024.
So I started calling vets, then had to get a farm supply hookup guy.

Interesting. Bites are rare and milking them for venom wouldn't take long to build up a mass supply I would think. Can it be sold direct to consumer?

Is it administered via simple shot? In the video they gave the kid 80 vials. Is that how much you need for a bite? Lots of questions. I'm pretty weary when I'm out in their terrain. Only have seen them in the wild less than five times

I've seen State Patrol drive 120 miles to get antivenom from the hospital that had it to the one that needed it. As a flight medic I've flown on that mission.
Definitely not every hospital carries it on hand.

Just did a quick search, holy shit is antivenom treatment expensive. But that's probably due to the crazy hospital mark up.

I blow their heads off with 20 gauge
Then I bury the head and place the still writhing body(for hours) on a rock for the Raptors to get healthy on
