Pressure band...ok.

And the Sawyer Snake bite kit is small and comparatively light to
carry. Much better than anything else you can do before going to the
ER Probably no more weight than a pressure band would be.

Heart rate? No way to slow that down. I didn't get hit but just seeing it
striking at me as I stradled it between my legs, I was barely able to keep
working my heart was racing so fast. It still jumps up just thinking about
it. I can't even begin to imagine keeping it down AFTER getting hit.

Scary image. Yeah, I said "may", but I think I my heart would still
be chugging at double speed after a snake bite.
