RAW ONION POULTICE FOR SNAKEBITE
By E. WHITKOE
Take an onion or several of them if they are small, crush or pound them to a pulp and use as a poultice on the wound made by the reptile. Whisky, if at hand, should be taken in moderate doses, and of course, a doctor should be sought as soon as possible.
Twice I have used—and with good results—the onion poultice on dogs that were bitten by rattlesnakes. I also know of two persons who were bitten by rattlesnakes and whose lives were saved by no other remedies than the onion poultice and whisky. One of these was a man of 70 the other was a boy of 12.
(included for historical purposes, if bitten, get medical attention, not an onion)
