Treatment of Snake Bites using a StunGun

The use of a high-voltage, low-amperage DC current to neutralize venomous bites from snakes, stings (bees, wasps, bumble-bees, etc.), arachnidan (scorpions, spiders, etc.) and marine animals (greater weevers, jellyfishes, urticant coral) was broadly commented on in the press about 20 years ago.
