[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 455399, member: 4485"] Because if/when a torniquet is released a localised dose of venom can also be released quickly. It can be fatal & so can taking off a pressure immobilisation bandage too quickly. Never remove them until with proper medical people I.e. let them take it off at the hospital. If you need to re-bandage for any reason just go over the old one. Torniquets can also cause other issues due to no blood flow, nerve damage etc. Really a last resort for anything really. [/QUOTE]
