icon Insect Bites


I bought a stun gun primarily for this purpose and we bring it when we go hiking/camping in the mountains. It uses a 9 volt battery. Have not used it for snake bite (hope I never need to) but it works instantly to virtually eliminate yellow jacket sting effect. My understanding is that the complex proteins that make up most toxins are denatured by the electrical current being passed through the bite/sting/wound site. In terms of overall self-defense, detoxifying venom, etc., it seems like a good idea to have a stun gun and a supply of 9 volt batteries.

Offered by Granville.
