Was watching this vid below and found it interesting that docs healed an open, probably festering wound with PRP. Just squirtin' it in there from what it appeared. If it can do this, what can it do for a pro athlete sans cobra bite to the gut?
Background:
David Weathers from "Jackass"/"Wild Boyz" fame got bitten by a monocled cobra and this shows the progression of the effects. This cobra has a buffet of toxins, neuro-, myo-, and cardio-. You get necrotic and paralytic effects like Dave did, sometimes necrosis is much more hideous than what he got. He was lucky to be close to the most well-known antivenom bank in the world and they could just drive it over. Sometimes they have to fly exotic AVs in from anywhere they can find em. One of those flights was allowed on 9/11/01 for another dude bitten by a snake called a taipan. It was Bush, antivenom, and the Bin Ladens.
