Best device that sucks… Spider, snake and other venom out of bites

Posted by Xeno on August 8, 2012

During my camping trip, while sleeping, I got a painful bite on my Achilles tendon. That was several days ago. Today it is a red dot with a white circle, surrounded by a slowly growing red rash. My doctor thinks it was a spider. Could have been a tic. To remove the venom I’m trying the Sawyer Extractor.
It is definitely pulling out fluids. Hopefully the venom as well. Great tool for your camping and first aid supplies. It was only about $18 at REI. The pain and itch are gone after a few minutes use. I wish I would have had it on my trip to use sooner.
