"Hi, I'm Ginger Black. I'm a professional snake handler with Expert Village. If you're someone who's likely to encounter a venomous snake, there are a few things you might want to keep on hand. One is a snake hook. That's something you can use to move the snake out of your way so you are not in the danger zone. Another item would be a pair of shears, so you can cut away a pants leg or a sleeve on a shirt to get to a bite area. A third item would be something you can cut metal with to cut away rings, bracelets, any other constricting item that may be on your body. Compression bandages are good depending upon the type of venom that you've come in contact with. And finally a Sawyer extractor. It is the safest method for removing venom that has been injected. So, if you're someone who has children who are likely to play in the woods, you work somewhere that you come across venomous animals on a regular basis, these are some items you might want to keep on hand.
