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.
