Default $10 snake bite kit saves man's life...

Chad Cross was hunting for turkey in the woods in Alabama when a venomous pit viper rattlesnake bit him in the lower left leg. Nervous and scared, the Montgomery resident attempted to calm himself and slow his heart rate so as to prevent the quick spreading of the deadly venom throughout his body. He then made a move that saved his life. He pulled out his $10 snake-bite kit.

Cross opened his Bite & Sting venom extraction kit and read the directions. He’s carried it with him on hunting trips for years but never knew how to use it.

“That’s what pulled it all out and I think saved my life,” Cross said.

The doctor told him as much, saying without using the kit, he would have died before he ever made it to his truck.

Y'all pay attention to something the guy said in the video: "It was like someone taking a full swing with a baseball bat and hitting me in my calf." Snakes strike so hard that they can spin you around and knock you down. Then you really are at their mercy.

I had a college Summer job working in the bayous of Louisiana, and moccasins were everywhere. We wore steel snake guards on our legs, but we were in constant fear of being knocked down by a strike. If you did, you'd likely get multiple bites to your upper body.

That's when the $10 snake bite kit comes into play.

Was it a different kit or did he have a coupon?
