 Please, do not buy this. November 29, 2008
I likewise work with rattlesnakes on a regular basis, have known plenty of people who've experienced a bite. The only reaction to snake bite is to keep calm and get to a hospital immediately. If you're messing around with the bite, at the very least you're wasting precious time, and at the worst, making a bad situation even worse. If you're inclined to purchase this sort of "home brew" product, please, do better protecting yourself and your family by avoiding this type of product altogether and always have a way to contact help.
If you still want to buy this garbage, contact your local Herpetological society and they'll tell you the same thing.

As a biologist who has worked extensively with rattlesnakes (though I currently study scorpions), I can tell you that this product is worse than useless. The suction is too weak, and doctors specializing in wilderness medicine (Forgey, Auerbach, and others) recommend not using a restriction bandage or scalpel (both included in this kit), as they will do more harm than good in the case of a rattlesnake bite. The ONLY product they recommend is the Sawyer Extractor. Look it up. While it's a few bucks more than this product, it has much more powerful suction (an actually useful amount), and has been clinically shown to mitigate some of the effects of a venomous snakebite. It's available on Amazon, but often available cheaper locally at your giant wallyworld or other local supercenter, in the camping section.
