>>191741>>191747>>191749WFR here again. I am so sorry I typed this late last night and must not have been fully with it. I didn't mean to imply coral snakes were vipers there in the ELAPIDAE family and have neurotoxic venom not the primarily tissue toxin venom of pit vipers.
You are also right In the "three types" I flubbed what I should have said was ALL rattlesnakes, copperhead, and cottonmouth. Coral snakes only bite if their handled so I didn't talk much about them. Sorry for my mistake didn't mean to spread misinformation ill be careful when posting late at night again.
Also after further thought compression bandages are a VERY BAD THING when it come to pit viper venom. Since it is a tissue toxin that is already localized and already going to swell drastically any compression could cause further tissue ischemia. Ill show you were it referenced it in my field guide.
Again apologies for my earlier mistake.
