As a matter of fact i was reading an article in readers digest about a doc who had used this procedure on a dog bite to the face with excellent results. And this same doctor said he used it on a women who was bit, both time within a 1/2 hour almost full recovery. There is a place in Africa that has been doing this for some time with poison bites from spiders to snakes. I am going back to the sub shop i read this in and buying it to post ot here. I found it very interesting. Also they use shock treatments in Europe for acme treatments with excellent results.
