Do suck and squeeze - as much venom as possible directly from the wound.
Venom is protein and can be taken orally with no ill effects.



WRONG! Absolutely WRONG. DO NOT SUCK ANYTHING. The "cut and suck" method is
considered one of the "traditional" and highly recomended against treatments
for snake bite. Powerful snakebite serums produce powerful side effects
which could prevent you from giving proper treatment. That treatment can be
potentially as devastating as the bite itself. If your bit by a snake do
this:

a.. Wash the bite.
b.. Immobilize the bitten area and keep it lower than the heart.
c.. Get medical help.
"Most bites don't occur in real isolated situations, so it is feasible to
get prompt [medical care]."
