ABSTRACT:
The apparatus includes a circuit (18) for generating an electrical signal with a sufficiently high voltage to overcome the skin resistance of the toxin victim, so that an electrical current is produced in the body area affected with the toxin. The electrical signal is applied to the site of the toxin (12) by means of a probe (14). A grounding plate (16) is positioned opposite from the toxin site (12). If the electrical signal is applied within a relatively short time following the receipt of the toxin, neutralization of the harmful effects of the toxin occurs.
