Learn how to use an extractor to remove venom in this free first aid video. Expert: Ginger Black Bio: Ginger Black works for a state facility where she handles venomous and non-venomous reptiles and amphibians on a weekly basis. Filmmaker: Reggie Hayes Video Rating: 3 / 5
Extractors have been proven next to useless in clinical studies. They pull out about .04 to 2% of the venom. A clinically insignificant amount and they can cause a fair bit of tissue damage. Not worth it guys.
Thanks for the info. Where can I buy this kit?
GINGER Rocks.
We have a camp thats way out in the woods ,I am going to buy two kits one for home and one for camp.
Things like getting bit by a snake can be caused by accident. I’m sure everyone who has gotten bit by one had it happen to them by accident (i.e. they walked near it without noticing it).
@ZachForgives Remain calm to avoid the venom rushing through your system, place a light compress on the limb (without constricting blood flow too much – you want to steer clear of gangrene) and getting help quickly is good enough for most cases. And if you’re in rural areas, then you should’ve stayed away from the snake in the first place. If you’re bitten hope you have a phone.
@ZachForgives It may have been done but most cases lead to infection. Go see a doctor, a park ranger, or a snake expert and they will tell you that sucking the venom out is the one thing you should never do. If you get bitten its best to get medical attention right away.
Actually no, this technique has been done for quite some time now. There’s even in times where people would suck the bite to improvise in getting out the venom.
Surely “under a doctors care” can never be a death sentence. True? But I suggest, no matter how deep your belief, that you not take away the right of skeptics to hear comments or reviews that maintain that an alternative at least did no harm, and apparently actually worked! What the “experts” say when they have no experience with the specific procedure is heresay.
Please, lets not start removing videos or files because it conflicts with your deeply held belief.
I understand your desire to BELIEVE in “medicine”: that all MDs are altruists and never put their own profit first. That none are deluded by big pharmaceutical companies that spend big bucks to analyze their egos, so they prescribe harmful but profitable medications.
Hopefully all the recalls, and cover-ups will never affect YOU. It’s surely in your best interest to put mercury compounds such as “guardasil” in vacines that are mandatory for your kids or you.
This is a complete joke. I’m a medical doctor, and if anyone uses this advice they are likely to get themselves or someone else killed. DO NOT EVER USE THIS.
Never heard or seen such rubbish in relation to snake bite. Snake bite venom has Hyaluronidase in it (binding agent). The agents in the venom will bind to your tissues and get carried through the lymph system. Sucking venom out makes no difference. In the USA the only first aid you need is a set of car keys. Get in a car and get to hospital. Only apply a compression bandage if the venom is neuro – toxic not if it is tissue damaging. It makes the tissue damage at rge bite site worse,
@bigboy6969100 yes, this works, Unlike all the idiots here who think they know what they are talking about, I have personally used it in a western diamondback bite. I saw oily blood being withdrawn from the puncture wounds. The victim didn’t feel any effects and I have pictures to prove my statements. I would definately recommend getting this kit if you around snakes; not because I am trying to “sell” these kits, but because I am that thankful for the sawyer kit and know it works. Trust me
sure I walk around with a extractor kit on the chance I will get bitten. you know sitting next to my phone in my trouser pocket…. what about if I don’t have a fucken kit? how do I survive?

Sources? I’m a paramedic.
the guy is just like stfu and help me, bitch.
@7GeorgeB1 It’s a demonstration, it’s not supposed to be fast. The point is to learn, speed comes after you know how to do something.
The “victim” looks like he fell asleep at the end.
Blood letting is also great for relieving headaches….and voodoo curses. Funny stuff. Great video.

Yeah, and what if you’re stranded from civilization?

Ginger Black – you are an idiot and a charlatan trying to make money with something that will cost some other poor idiots their lives.
I sincerely hope that you get the chance to try your adapted zit sucker on yourself one day.
People – if you get bitten by a venemous snake, apply a compression bandage and GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL HELP, or you are gonna die!!!!!
sure I walk around with a extractor kit on the chance I will get bitten. you know sitting next to my phone in my trouser pocket…. what about if I don’t have a fucken kit? how do I survive?
get to a hospital
Does this really work
