dont know if any of you have seen it before or if it maybe of any use to anyone but for the cheap prices they sell the AV for it might be worth a look, just my thought anyway

I no expert on the whole AV but just thought the site might be of some interest to someone on here etc

Can forsee the dangers involved here!!! A BIG BEWARE etc... Untrained medics and the uninformed etc Shelf life and specifics/locale aside...

With regards to the overpriced alcohol: - certainly has a different slant on getting a kick from a drink! That's all it is too - no beneficial quality associated with such gimmicks. The venom and any other toxin effused into the alcohol for ingestion are totally different from the venoms in their natural state etc. What would customs say about this import? Is it legal to import? Hope not.

A license is required to import antivenom (and other prescription only medications) so you cannot legally buy this stuff and bring it to the UK. It would also be foolish to purchase this kind of medication from an unaccredited website (although from the photos it does look like genuine Thai Red Cross serum) if you have any intention of ever using it. There really isn't much point in holding your own antivenom in the UK (if you live in Ireland however this may be worth looking in to). Antivenom is dangerous stuff and cannot be used like it is on films. You need a clinician to administer in a hospital setting. A doctor is likely to be dubious about you bringing in your own anti-serum of unknown origin.

Had a little surf and came across this other forum called which is based in the US I think. Here is a link - some very interesting and lengthy discussions - both from Doctors and those that have either been bitten or have treated snake bite victims etc. The posts are somewhat long winded but are intriguing. Check out the following link to have a read for yourselves.

Well, for those adamant stalwarts I think this may appeal. Certainly seems a tad more above board than some of the others ( and especially the one mentioned in the above post selling 'snake-alcohol' = that's just plain cruelty etc).
