Default Poundland Venom Extractor
Recently in poundland I noticed they are stocking a venom extractor.

It clearly has a picture of a snake and a T on the front (as well as a wasp) and while it dosn't exactly say it is suitable for use on venomous snakes the suggestion is certainly there. Out of interest I opened it up and the suction cup is probably only about 2cm big.

Does anyone else see where this is possibly going....

I think its aimed at holiday makers as it was in their holiday bits section. Just see some idiot buy it, go out looking for something nasty, get themselves bitten and then wonder why they die after using a £1 venom extractor.

I guess someone could buy one on the off chance they get bitten by an adder......

I hope they sell them up my way..... We have a hell of a problem with cobras in the back garden..... LOL
I don't think they work anyway... Probably helps with the placebo effect of a wasp sting on some people....
Or you could use it for making Elf nickies on your neck......
