Re(1): snakebite

Posted on August 25, 2007 at 10:00:38 AM by Kenrico Support
Hi there,

If the patches are the only means of survival available during the emergency situation, we would use the patches that can boost our body immunity, such as the silver edition pads (AG), or patches that have strong absorption power such as the hot edition patch (WRX-2) or the gold edition patch (TRMX-2). There have not been any test performed in relate to the emergency treatment of snakebites using the patches, so unfortunately we are not able to provide an accurate answer.

The patch can assist in the recovery after snakebites. To assist the recovery after snakebites, we recommend QU-1 patches with Milk Thistle. Toxins from snakebites pass through the liver, damaging liver cells. QU-1 can help in strengthening and rejuvenating the liver.

To neutralize a sudden and large dose of venom requires maintaining a high level of circulating antibody - natural body immunity (such as antivenin). Studies have been done in regards to antivenin, but unfortunately antivenin is very snake specific and is quite dangerous to administer.

Snake venom is a mixture of toxins and different enzymes that affects our cardiac system (Phosphodiesterases), causing us to lose control of our muscles (inhibits cholinesterase), bring down our body immunity by increasing the spreading rate of toxins (Hyaluronidase) and breaking down our energy source (ATPases). Symptoms caused by snakebite range from mild to severe, and can include a racing pulse, with swelling around the area of the bite, short of breath, nauseous, vomit, dilated pupils, shock/convulsion, and paralyzed or lose conciousness. If your loved one is bitten by a snake, act fast.

In health,
Kenrico Support
