Man bitten on testicles by snake: friend refuses to suck out venom

[QUOTE=Sanius;34759058]where did the idea of sucking out venom come from and why do people still believe it?[/QUOTE]
Back in the day, it would be common sense, now, ignorance.
Assume for a moment you don't have the slightest clue about fluid mechanics, human anatomy, or how toxins work. It's fairly reasonable to assume that, if someone is filled with a liquid you know kills people, and you know a method of removing liquids from other objects, that it could apply to people as well. Since you likely would never run into enough people being poisoned and sucked/not sucked to see its efficacy on a scale, you'd probably assume any success the person had was in part due to you, and any failure, well, shit, strong poison.

I have amounts of 'clue' varying between degree level and A level on all of those topics. Could you explain how I am still ignorant to this supposed fallacy?
Imptastick's points about possibly causing infection (due to saliva) and poisoning yourself through a cut I agree with. I still think sucking poison from a snakebite would be beneficial.
he probably knew that sucking the venom out doesn't work and just wanted someone to suck his balls before he died
[QUOTE=Tolyzor;34759427]Well that's obvious bullshit.
The more venom in the system the worse the damage. Therefore if you can suck any of it out, the pain level and chance of dying will decrease. Tropical first aid kits contain suction cups for sucking out venom.
Unless the snake sinks its fangs perfectly into a major artery, the venom will hang about for quite a while, the blood in the capillary system moves very slowly.
The worry of any getting into a cut in the mouth is valid though, only try sucking venom with your mouth if;
1. the bite isn't on your mates balls
2. you don't have any cuts in your mouth, and spit, don't swallow![/QUOTE]
Like this guy, who doesn't understand that[URL="https://bfelabs.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/extractored.pdf"] mechanical suction has never been proven to work and demonstrably shown to be clinically insignificant[/URL], the fact that the [URL="http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/168828-overview#a0104"]capillaries leak, blood thins, the venom moves across interstitial areas and various non-cardiovascular membranes, and removal generally is never so simple as "getting the venom out of your system"[/URL]. What he just said was actually rather reasonable.
Dead fucking wrong, but reasonable.

I think you should have opened with "Assume for a moment you aren't a doctor with an interest or speciality in snake bites who is up to date with journals published within the last decade".

Camp pranks at the girl's cabin.
I'd do it even without the venom.
I'll admit I'd be fairly conflicted too, going near the poisonous ballsack of a guy that just took a shit in his garden.
Immediately reminded of this:

Good chance he did not stop to wipe, making it even worse
Even if it would work, and his buddy saved him by sucking out the venom, it would totally suck.
''Did I ever tell you about how I saved my friend's life?''
''Oh woah, that's so sexy! Tell me about it while I take off my clothes''
''Yeah, I sucked the venom out of his dick''
''Never call me again''

But Tasmania isn't in the outback. Infact that's the last place in Australia i'd worry about saving water.
How it really went down.
"Ow fuck a snake bit me!, quick, suck my balls!!"

never heard of that before
I pray that I may never find myself in a situation where my life hinges on the act of someone sucking on my testicles.
That ain't right, man.
Wow.
Just say no homo and it's perfectly fine.

Please, he's clearly not Scottish, so there's a good chance that might evade him as well :v:
