Miami's Dr. Clifford C. Snyder got interested in the toxicology of snake venoms after his prized dog died of a rattlesnake bite. In the laboratory he extracted snake venom, purified it, laced it with radioactive iodine-131, and injected it into the hind legs of dogs. Most of the venom stayed in the immediate area of an untreated wound for about 20 minutes, Dr. Snyder found, but with a tourniquet around the leg it stayed in place almost twice as long. Crosscutting and suction removed very little venom, so Surgeon Snyder decided that the most effective...
...years Dr. Snyder has performed this simple surgery on 32 patients, five bitten by cottonmouth moccasins and 27 by rattlesnakes. All have recovered. Obviously, excising a piece of flesh up to the size of a silver dollar is not practical in the head and neck region, Dr. Snyder concedes in the A.M.A. Journal, but most snake bites are on the hands, arms and legs...
Immediate first aid for snake bite still consists of applying a tourniquet between the wound and the heart-slack enough, says Dr. Snyder, for a finger to pass between the bandage and the limb. Then a dash to the hospital, where antivenom is given after the surgery. If a hunter is hours away from a hospital, he may even be able to perform the emergency surgery himself, because snake venom acts as a mild local anesthetic and leaves the bite area numb...
...Gary Snyder presents an interesting case, interesting perhaps to study in the light of Barber's theories about aggression. Snyder is a charismatic, gleeful, booming-voiced, hyper-energetic Adonis of a man, very sharp-witted, very profound, a long-time student of Zen in Kyoto, and a poet who despite militant political leftism gives the impression of being the best-adjusted man on earth. Yet I don't think he's much of a poet, and I can't help feeling he's perhaps too much of a man, in the sense that Yeats was suggesting (as Barber quotes...
