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...

The troubles are classified in four major groups...
