ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (10) and method are provided for neutralizing poison, acquired through venomous snake bites, insect bites and stings, or the like, within a localized wound area. The apparatus is preferably comprised of a housing (12) completely containing a voltage generator (14) and partially containing a cathode (16) electrically communicating with the voltage generator, the cathode having a tip (16a), and an electrical receiver (18) mounted to the housing. The electrical receiver has a distal portion (18c) bent so as to circumscribe a localized area around the cathode tip. By contacting the localized wound area with the cathode tip, by contacting a nearby skin surface with the distal portion of the electrical receiver, and by then actuating the voltage generator, such as by depressing a plunger (15), a high voltage is applied from the cathode tip, across a portion of the localized wound area, and to the distal portion of the electrical receiver. In this manner, voltage is applied in only a closely defined area, maximizing its capacity to neutralize the poison in that area.
