But seriously, you still hear the claim & it's thoroughly debunked--probably the result of a 'dry bite' & desperation. But could it have actually worked because of the shock was administered at some particular frequency that some original subject serendipitously received. I know some of us freepers have considerable experience in electricity and snakebite and more than a few with both. The question then: could there be a way to neutralize snake venom using destructive resonance at a particular frequency carried by electrical current, frequency dependent? If so, I get a cut of the patent royalties.

I’ll stick to eating laundry detergent packs.

It would seem that it would be possible.
