just a question about the most common misnomers about venomous reptiles ie baby snakes can kill you and deliver potentionally fatal doeses but obviously adults have a much higher amount of venom!
also on venom ERa nurse asked why Dr Shaun Busch why he asked if the child in question had any shhep allergys, she wonderd why? prerhaps a snake bite dedication wing on ahospita to deal with specialist cases shaun Busch is capable of starting his own snake bite treatment an advice as i was saying on venom er an adult had cut the wound site to try and suck out any venom this only managed to cause further injury. please post me your stories on miraculous snake bite recoveries not using any crofab etc, there are so many but most seem pretty far fetche i need the ideas for a voting system of the top few snakebit cures not including
ilving antivenin

I'm probably going to sound like an a-hole here but seriously, this post is almost uninelligible. If you added (correct) punctuation at the end of each sentence it would probably make a lot more sense. I'm not the grammar police, and I don't care if you spell things wrong (I sure can't spell) or don't capitalize or you use "to" instead of "too", but it just seems like a waste of effort on your part to write up a post asking questions that no one can answer becuase they have no idea what you're asking...
I guess I haven't seen that episode, but if you are asking why Dr. Bush asked about sheep alergies, it's because he's using CroFab which is a sheep based antivenom and so anyone with sheep alergies would have a serious reaction to it. If you're asking why the nurse didn't know this (my best guess), she may never have worked a snake bite before, or she may very well have been given that question just as a convenient way for him to make the point on the show without sounding like he was giving a lecture. If you were just making a point, ignore this whole section. It was hard to tell since you said you had a question and that was the only question mark you used...

Hi mate
I had some problems in sifering you query! Sorry. Baby snakes can be just as lethal as their parents and also their venom composition can also be different to their parents. CroFab comes from immunised sheep, hence why they ask, also papaya (tropical fruit) is also used in the production, for what purpose I dont't know! Maybe some one here does? The only antidote for a confirmed snake envenomation is antivenom, wound sacrificing and sucking etc are of no use in snake bite.
John

Papain (an enzyme found in papaya) is commonly used as a meat tenderizer (basicaly it pre-digests the meat). My guess would be that it's used to fagment the antibodies, but that's only a very slightly educated guess...

Yeah point taken thats one garbled mess of a question but the answers given were what I was asking,
Thankyou for trying to understand it and reply and also Hoyta I see your point and have accepted what you say thankyou for not being to offensive as I can now plainly see what you mean! the above question is a mess, I will try to post and preview my questions in a much more understandable format sorry for the hassle,
Also Dr Busch did mention Papaya fruit also , so I guess Larry is right, I was just a bit shocked when he is aparrently mentoring this nurse.
Anyway sorry once again, and cheers for helping.
