I've got those in my pack.  It's the "green oil" I'm wondering about.  

 

The man who posted the video is known to be a descendant of a family of traditional healers, specializing in snake bite treatments passed down through generations.

 

Infomercial?

 

 

OK, I read a lot about disbelieve in traditional healing, but can somebody please tell me what you should do after a snake bite ?  Of course, I understand seeking medical help, going to the hospital, but this could take me 45-60 minutes, a time some people say you could die.

So what is to be done when you need time to reach medical care ?

Tie the blood stream? Use the green oil ?  Do nothing and wait medical help ? What ?

Allegedly

Pit vipers are one of the most common sources of snake bite in Thailand, there habitat and behaviour frequently brings them into close contact with humans.
