Well I don't remember those but I have a first hand account of a "Snakebite Treatment Center" associated with a large Zoo going to administer CroFab to someone I know who was bitten last month by a Trimeresurus gumprechti. These "experts" wanted to give him CroFab because it was a PIT VIPER and CroFab is used for PIT VIPER envenomation. He told them to "Stuff it" righfully so and asked to be discharged.

Lets not forget a year or so ago a young lady was killed by an Urutu (Bothrops alternatus)when the physicians gave her CroFab. Their defence is that she should not have had the snake in the first place, How lame is that!

Cheers,
