First of all, most experts will tell you when tagged by a venomous snake is to call 911 or get to a local hospital like right now, and I agree.

What is the first aid treatment for snakebite?

I’m going to give you 01 of 28 International Snakebite Remedies.  But first, watch the video below.

But what if you’re ALONE (NEVER venture into the wilderness alone) and have no way to call for help. If you try to walk out, you’re helping the venom to travel throughout your body even faster, thus a QUICKER DEATH.

How Snake Venom Kills So Quickly

Let me give you one option of many.  Here’s some background information about the man behind this unknown snakebite remedy (01 of 28) I’m about to reveal to you.

Horace Kephart was born 08 September 1862 when the American Civil War was already several months old.

A very avid outdoorsman, Kephart wrote volumes on camping. So much so and evident was his expertise, Kephart is known as the “Dean of American Campers.”

One of his most complete writings is his combined 02-Volume, 405-page & 479-page book is Camping And Woodcraft which is rich in camping tricks of the trade.

But another of Kephart’s claim to fame’ was his instrumental work to establish the mountainous 2,050-mile Appalachian Trail that runs from Newfoundland, Canada to Alabama, United States.

Kephart’s Snakebite Remedy Kit: Kephart has a snakebite remedy kit I never thought of, using a chemical that I’ve used hundreds of times – potassium permanganate.

His snake bite remedy kit includes:

  • a sharp instrument to make an incision at the snakebite site
  • a constricting band to use as a tourniquet to stop the tainted poison blood flow to the rest of the body
  • a small portion of potassium permanganate.

Snake Bite Venom Treatment

Here’s the step-by-step snake bite venom treatment as per Kephart’s instructions:

Step 01: Immediately after the venomous snakebite, a tourniquet is applied above the wound so the tourniquet is between the snakebite site and the heart.

Step 02: A small incision is made at the snakebite site to bleed the wound of tainted blood and access for potassium permanganate.

Step 03: Potassium permanganate is applied directly to the bleeding site to neutralize the poisonous venom.

Why does this snakebite remedy work? Well let’s take another look (from December 1999 AASN – Newsletter) at the definition of potassium permanganate.

According to The Facts On File Dictionary Of Chemistry (page 182) quote:

“Potassium permanganate is used in volumetric analysis as an oxidizing agent, as a bactericide, and as a disinfectant.”

In my humble opinion, maybe with the combined efforts as an oxidizing agent, bactericide, and disinfectant it’s synergistic (more potent together) in countering the hemotoxins and or neurotoxins injected by the venomous slithering ornery critter.

Note:  Before 911, potassium permanganate and many other chemicals were very easy to buy through the internet and mail-order. After 911, many companies stopping selling chemicals to private citizens. Just shop around via the internet, there are potassium permanganate sellers. They may ask you a few questions. Just be truthful.

WAIT?  What about your pet dog?
