I'm gonna pull this up for you Ramon, because it's a lot. We'll get to him. But first of all,

Hank Hammer, the guy who sent me the email about the, what do you do when you're out of the deer least an hour away I

interrupted you apparently I interrupt a lot I'm supposed to just sit here and ask a

great question and never talk again because that's how people respond but what should you do but what's the good

advice? Okay so knowing that local damage is seen in the overwhelming majority of

these bites and it's the only thing seen in the overwhelming majority of these bites and it's the only thing seen in the vast majority as well,

we want to minimize the tissue injury, which means we actually elevate the affected limb.

Historically, you know, we said put the bite below heart level, we know now that that's not the right thing to do.

That'll exacerbate the local damage. So we're going to remove anything tight. Like I said before, we're not going to use a turnicate.

We're not going to use a lymphatic bandage. We're not going to do anything that's tight on the limb because that'll make the local damage worse.

We're actually going to remove anything tight. We're going to elevate. We're going to get someone, whether it's EMS or a friend, depending on which is faster, to get you to the appropriate

hospital. And when I say the appropriate hospital, it's not always the closest, because you might

be 40 minutes away from the hospital that doesn't know snake bites and they'll keep you in the lobby

or they'll bring in the room and they'll get some labs

but they won't treat you.

Or you can go two hours away and get treated right away
