real issues please (OP) User ID: 71412559 United States 05/06/2016 03:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | bumping own post . Looks like if snake bite you here -it's just better to drown in the ditch than seek help. Mexican cost for the same 1 gram vial /SAME MANUFACTURER/ is mere $200 Consider this standard business model for all USA pharmaceutical industry.If you get some real issues always go to Canada , EU or Mexico where lifesaving medications are considered almost non profit |

If you are going to be bitten by a venomous snake do it in Mexico the same treatment is about 1/10th the cost. |

The antibodies will be in your **** stream within seconds. You can also cure any allergy this way; it's called urine therapy.

Romans used to eat a lemon after snakebite or poison, Had a friend that breathed in fumes and was feeling sick and off kilter. We squeezed a whole lemon in some water and had him drink it. |
