"Needless to say, I had the last laugh"Celebrity autobiographies are filled to the brim with self-righteous tales of smug oneupmanship. So, forget you had any shame, grab a coffee and a croissant, and tell us your smug tales of when you got one over somebody.
Thanks to Ring of Fire for the suggestion

I'd say that was about 99% righthowever you have to take in factors like age of victim etc, also this is good first aid and never clean the venom off with water because anti-venom will still have to be used and they will have to identify the snake venom, without anti venom there is always a chance you could die. Treatment straight away could stop all the shit, so your spot on.
Found this about a guy that was bitten by a Browns -
Remember the man who was bitten by the Brown snake while climbing the cliffs at the rock pool? First he chased, caught and killed the snake. Then he swam back across the rock pool. He and his friends did not treat the bite at all, instead they all walked back to the car together, a walk involving 170 stairs! From there it was a 20 minute drive to the hospital.
By rights he should be dead. He very nearly was by the time they arrived at the hospital. His health was seriously affected, it took many weeks for him to fully recover. Correct initial treatment and behaviour probably would have avoided any symptoms and after effects altogether. Actually, it would have avoided the bite in the first place!
Well, as I said, he was back drinking at the pub two days later. Dumb luck. Don't you count on it!
