>An electro-shock device that would pass high voltage through a snake bite, theoretically denaturing venom proteins. I have a 'clicker' for mosquito bites; it produces a high voltage from a piezo crystal - rather like a gas lighter. Seems to relieve mosquito bites, although I have not tested it on bee stings as they do not bother me. It seems that heat can be used to treat stings from some venomous fish, jelly fish and snakes presumably by denaturing the venom; plenty on the Internet, e.g.: https://www.mja.com.au/journal/2002/177/11/temperature-effects-box-jellyfish-venom-possible-treatment-envenomed-patients https://www.quora.com/At-what-temperature-and-for-how-long-would-various-snake-poisons-be-denatured-Venom-is-a-protein-and-can-be-cooked-So-can-we-successfully-heat-snake-bites https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3257884/ Best wishes Peter 52°14'44.44"N, 1°50'35"W *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
