So lets say that you and I are out camping in the desert...

Would you believe I couldn't find any good pics for this thread.

dam, someone shop it NOW!

urg...I can't even say, it gives me shivers just thinking about it.

I guess the new advice is not to suck the poison out, but to just tourniquet above the wound and get help.

Besides ...

You would have to suck the puncture site for a half-hour to get just one-fourth of it out, and I just read that spontaneous anal bleeding may occur ...

.... so ....

I'd leave you there, and possibly use your limbs as weapons against any other snakes I encounter. XilePrincess

Honestly depends where on the butt, and if you had much hair in that certain area of your butt. But I'd probably do it if it looked like you'd die.

I don't even think sucking the venom out of a snakebite has been shown to be very effective. So no, I'd use other means of snakebite first aid.

Stranger danger!

Well first of all snakes don't "jump" as a rule unless they're an incredibly aggressive mamba or cobra. Since copperheads are very calm and quiet snakes I have to assume that you somehow managed to sit on one and I'd probably initially make fun of you a bit. After that I would thank you profusely for the find as copperheads are incredibly gorgeous snakes and I would bag it to take back home.

These days sucking a snake bite wound is considered practically useless and possibly dangerous to the person sucking if they got venom in their mouth and had any sort of small cuts. The best thing that I could do is to make sure you are calm and I'd give you plenty of blankets to keep you warm and, if symptoms arise, I'd start hiking out of there to find you help.

But since it's a copperhead and they have a fairly calm demeanor and a fairly low toxicity, the chances of you dying from a bite are very low and to top it off they often hit large animals with warning dry bites that contain no venom but will scare the hell out of you.

Not really too extreme of a situation but thanks again for finding me a keen copperhead. :)

Yes. Yes I would.

i dont know you to well. runs

I'd swiftly take out a knife and gauge out that venom infected meat from your ass.

...and all of a sudden a poisonous snakes jumps out and bites me right in the ass. We are far away from help and have no cell phone reception so now the only way to save me is to suck out the poison. Part 1:So what do you do OT? Suck the poison out of my ass or let me die? (I am a developed hairy male btw). Part 2: I am trying to get some responses here so I figure I need some aspects of a popularity thread. So what user do you think could survive the longest with an untreated copperhead bite to the ass?quetzalcoatI

Considering the situation, I'd do what I can do, I'll do my best. Rub cake on you.:oops:

No. You wouldn't be able to suck it out like that.

I don't know you well enough, so I would send the snake back at you for round two to finish the job quicker.

You actually are NOT supposed to suck the venom out anymore as you're mouth absorbs it.

This thread reminded me of this. No offence though OT, but that probably wouldn't happen in your case. :P

Bear Grylls should be out there somewhere. I'd call him over to do it.Tweetie-Pot

even better, bear will have a camera crew with first aid and most likely a vehicle to drive them all to a hotel. but im sure he'd still suck the guys arse.

I never understood why mouth to ass contact is so frowned upon.

No, not unless you are babe. If you're a man... oh well. It would be your fault for going out into the desert without out armored underwear and an anti-venom kit. There's a lot of crazy and reckless things I'd do to save lives but sucking on another man'sbuns is where I draw the line.

I guess the best way to ensure someone would suck the venom out of your cheekwould be to go on your expedition with a member of the opposite sex or a homosexual.

I'd let you die...no offense but I don't suck ass.

Well, considering there aren't many blood vessels in your ass, you would probably be fine. So I wouldn't be sucking.

Seriously. People have little problem kissing it anyway, like Xao's
