Angie, you ARE crazy.  I'd rather get run over by a rhino than electrocuted.
Sheesh!  All the stun gun is good for is melting the darn critter that bit
you into a pile of smoking goo.  Before you die, that is. :-)

O.K.  I'm going to make ya'll think I'm crazy, but has anybody else ever
heard of using a stun gun on snake bites?  Outdoor Life Magazine did a
series of articles on it several years ago, and I still have them.  The
articles claimed that venom sort of has positive & negative charges or
something, and that if you shocked the area with a stun gun (or even
jumper cables) that the venom seperated to the poles or something and
literally deactivated...no tissue damage or anything.
