Dr. Abrams,

Just a few stories of our use of electric shock treatment for snake bites, insect stings & mosquito bites.

We are located in the Mountains on the island of Palawan in the Philippines. In our area are spitting cobras, crates and a snake which is known as the sun down snake because it's victim is said to die before the sun goes down. the following is a description of electro shock therapy on such bites.

1. In this instance a palawano was bitten by a snake at night. The type of snake was unknown but it left the distinctive two fang marks that is normal for a poisonous snake. It apparently was a young snake because the fang marks were only about 1/4 inch apart. The location of the bite was on his bare foot. Shock treatment, using the Zapper which is produced by SIL was begun within 1 minute of the snake bit and continued for about 5 minutes. Voltage was high enough to cause to leg to shake. the next morning the victim stopped by our home and said the only ill effect he had experienced was a very small amount of swelling of his foot and itching.

2. We recieved word that an individual had been bitten by what was probably a waglers pit viper. The snake was only about 2 feet long but very large in circumferance. The location of the bite was on the hip on bare skin. since he was located 2 hours hike from our location. News of the incident was delayed and we were unable to treat the bite immediatly. 24 hours later Caleb Duckett arrived on the scene and administered electro shock treatment with the zapper. the swelling was from the zictims knee all the way to his shoulder. At the time of treatment the patient sayed that there was a noticably decrease in pain. A week later we returned. the patient had recovered however a necrotic area about 4 inches across and half an inch deep had rotted away. We cleaned and disinfected the wound and his recover was complete.

3. Various other times we have used the zapper to treat various types of insect stings. It seems to always relieve the pain. We have also used it on mosquito bites and find that the itching is usually relieved.

From what we have seen so far we will always use the zapper if it is available. So far it seems to be effective.

Hope this is of help to you as you do further research,

Kent George
