Dr. Alton wrote a good article on Snakebite Survival that may be of interest. Even if you don’t regularly come into contact with snakes (like me) the situation could very well change in an emergency situation due to flood waters, strew garbage, improper sanitation, etc. Each of the aforementioned bring critters snakes like to feed on and, as a result, could dramatically increase the likelihood of an otherwise unexpected encounter.

Got to love Doc Bones and Nurse Amy! I print their articles and put them in a binder with Survival and Austere Medicine. We bought their book, The Doom And Bloom Survival Medicine Handbook. Some other recommended titles for your Crisis/Disaster library: The Special Operations Medical Handbook, Where There Is No Doctor / Dentist (2 separate books), Emergency War Surgery, Merk Medical Manual, Wilderness & Travel Medicine, The Doctors Book Of Home Remedies and Dr Koop’s Self Care Advisory.
These are good references and I always enjoy Joe and Amy’s articles. Anyway, most of the references you mention can be found and downloaded freely via links in my Guide to the Net pages. Thanks for the reminder!
