A tetanus shot is used to prevent problems from cuts on rusty steel and iron object. Also if a dog bites you. Has nothing to do with snakes. For Poisonous snakes (except the CORAL SNAKE which has a nerve agent poisoning) you need to make a cut at the bite and then SUCK it out. You spit it out, but it can't hurt you in the stomach because of stomach acids. For a CORRAL snake you need to get a person to medical attention quickly, they have an antidote. There is a snake from India (I think) called a 3 stepper that kills people quicker than the CORAL snake. But the Coral snake is Florida's most poisonous snake, worse than a rattler, water moccsin, or a copperhead.
..........Now, I suggest that I am NOT AN ENCYCLOPEDIA about snakes. So, for more information trust your Google Machine the MOST.
