    I remember reading a news article at least 50 years ago now; about a man that was bitten by a rattler. He managed to grab the snake and bite it back. The man survived, the snake didn't.

    +yourmamaisphat They already said there is no current anti-venom, and besides once eruption begins you can't just "anti" the venom; it's job is done. The only way to cure it would be to restore the blood flow somehow, (like how in Cranked, yes I'm using a movie as an example, he had to keep his blood pumping fast else he would die), which might include, (based on common sense, not facts): Injecting them with something that thins the blood; not sure if it could counter the clots or congealed blood, but thinning it out sounds like something that may or may not work. Chopping off the limb you got bit on to prevent it spreading, (not a very realistic idea as most aren't prone to keeping tools for that on hand when venturing around snakes). Developing an anti-body that people who live around these snakes could take daily. Like a pill that keeps their blood from reacting so strongly to the venom, (something that would need a lot more research before it's made I'm sure).

    guess anti venom negates the venoms affect in much the same way your immune system would destroy a virus. rather than magically undoing the damage caused already by the venom. then stem cells can repair you once you stop dying.

    It's from the vein, that will be why. In the military, you learn to recognise different shades of blood to determine if it's an arterial wound, vein trauma or flesh wounds. The darker the blood, the more severe the wound usually. There are exceptions but it's usually locational.
