Ha, kinda funny, but true. They left out rodents, tho. I live in a rural foothill environment (1200 feet) and we have field mice, gophers, moles, etc. Our home is sealed pretty well so there's no problem there, but the garage is a different story. Rodents have previously crawled into my motorcycle intakes and "stolen" the air filters; i.e., they bite off little pieces of the paper or foam to use as nesting material. As a result I have to cover the bikes intakes with 1/4 inch chicken wire, which I kinda form around the induction tubes.

Yeah, I don't know about other areas but spiders and snakes and such are just a fact of life around here. Spiders are definitely the most common. We have lots of brown recluses too. I just make a point to check boots, shoes, gloves, etc. (especially those stored outside or any that haven't been used for a while) before donning them.

...really?

I use the stuff for everything!

Good to know, at what % concentration ?

Diluted with regular sterile saline solution or what?

DIY or can this solution be pharmacy bought?

Does this principal work for other things as well?

I'm pretty sure you didn't really mean IV but as a lavage instead. I've heard of sterilizing it with H²O² and also heard of using baking soda & water paste or activated charcoal & water paste to draw venom out. All of these say to do it several times daily for a few weeks or longer.
