I This is the time iff year
when people who are fearful
of snakes begin to think and
talk about them, for warm
weather is what brings'
snakes out into the open.!
But the chance of anybody's!
being bitten by a snake is
so small that, compared with ;
other had things that mayi
happen to you—for example.:
being struck down by an
automobile there is not;
much reason to be
about it.
No other people are in as
good a position to hear about
snakebites as people who
work in drugstores, and yes
terday I questioned Rupert
Jernigan. at Eubanks', on
the subject.
"Snakebite is very, very
rare,” he said. "It's been
several years since I've
hoard of a case. We used to
keep anti-venin. the serum
that counteracts the poison,
but it loses its strength and
becomes worthless after a
few months. Since we never
had but one call for it in
several year, and a dose of
it cost us about $lO. we quit*
keeping it. Other druggists
have done the same. Now.,
when snakebites do occur,|
they are taken care of at{
hospitals.
"We have a little package
called a snakebite kit. con-j
twining a safety razor blade.,
a suction pump, and some
crystals of potassiun-per
manganate as an antiseptic.
In case of a bite you make a
little incision with the blade,
draw the blood out by suc
tion, and put the antiseptic
mi * ampifty iiV UlSti
jhas ever told me of having
’to use one.**
Anybody who is bitten by
a snake can be treated in the
emergency ward of the hoo
pital here. This ward is at
the tear of the building.
