[QUOTE="Guest, post: 91488"] I have done many first aid courses over my time but the last one I believe the instructor nailed it. Its not necessarily the venom that kills you in the first instance. Its the panic and running to get help, which puts the heart into overdrive, consequently speading the venom at a rapid rate thoroughout the organs that will kill you. He said that if you sat there calmly with a compression bandage with a low heart rate the body can deal with the toxins. You will of course be extremely unwell but increase your chance of survival. Made sense to me. [/QUOTE]
