title: Snakebite. Comparison of three methods designed to delay uptake of 'mock venom'.
abstract: Research at Monash University on 12 volunteers shows that uptake from an injected protein bolus may be prevented by application of a thick firm pad and tight bandage. Its application as a possible first aid treatment for snakebite is discussed and compared with other methods.
