You're starting to repeat yourself. That's a sign of old age.

... Dave, It's my understanding that snakebite suction kits are no longer recommended for humans or animals.
Gil There are no poisonous snakes naturally occurring in Maine  , so I kinda fell behind on the latest recommendations in that department.  St. Patrick drive the snakes out of Maine, too?

Another coagulant/disinfectant....cayenne Quote: "Cayenne pepper should be in everyone's first aid kit. If you have a severe cut which is bleeding profusely, apply cayenne pepper, a powerful styptic, directly into the wound. The cayenne will equalize the blood pressure and start the coagulating of blood immediately. It is a powerful disinfectant so there is no need to worry about infection setting in. My family has been using cayenne in this manner for years and, as a result, take what others consider miraculous results for granted." "When purchasing cayenne, AVOID buying it from the spice department in your grocery store. Most herbs and spices are irradiated, rendering them ineffective medicinally. Instead, purchase a 30,000 to 40,000 BTU (British Thermal Units) or HU (heat units) cayenne pepper from a company which guarantees that their products are not irradiated." from this site...many benefits http://www.healthfreedom.info/cayenne%20pepper.htm

Yep, definitely want the muzzle muzzled before you put the cayenne on the cut.

My dad was chopping wood when he was a young lad. The axe glanced and put a gash in the top of his foot. His dad reached into his mouth, pulled out his cud and slapped it in the cut. Obviously, my dad did survived.

Could be, but it would have been before my time so I can't say one way or the other. I will say that many Mainers will say that in June Maine is greener than Ireland any time. It's pretty darn green but I've never been to Eire so I can't say one way or the other on that, too.

The problem is that the other color is white, like in cold stuff.
