If i was on the other hand in Edinburgh zoo, i would take him to the administration and tell them what happened for to be sure they will have some antidote on hand just for that very thing.
you do have zoo's in scotland dont you. i presume you have lots of private collections too. lets say hypothetically your son is bitten by an escaped snake.....if required, would you suck the venom out?

Originally posted by robbie carrobiei like your elaborate scenario, but you wouldnt have time to sterilize the wound. the venom would be in the system by that time. would you still suck the venom out if required to save your child?

Originally posted by stellspalfieno of course not, the prohibition, 'you must not eat blood', did not mean that the Israelite must get every single drop of blood from the meat they ate, that would be impossible, all they had to do was make sure that the animal was properly bled, thus by extension even if i did ingest a tiny amount of blood i would not transgress Gods law on the prohibition to abstain from eating blood! My son would be saved and we would be happy once more despite that horrid snake!
can i take it from your carefully worded answer that if you were unable to suck the venom out without ingesting your childs blood you wouldnt do it?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI just finished reading the rest of this thread, and you sir, you are pure entertainment (and I don't mean that in a negative sense - sort of). Your word smithery is outstanding (well, beyond me and far more than I've come to expect from an Internet forum). I quoted you to nominate a favourite crazy, but I admit I've also thumbed up (or rec'd as you say over here) some of your posts, for their... eloquence, I guess you could say.
stunned into silence by the awesomeness of the statement , no wonder for it is truly genius in its proportions.
In short, you made this thread interesting. Thank you.
