Re: Expanding

I did a first aid cert last year, and they'd changed the advice from the compression bandage and antivenom ASAP routine I grew up learning to "compression bandage is too painful and not helpful, and antivenom may not be necessary". But I just googled, and yes, seek medical assistance ASAP, but it isn't the dire emergency that (for example) a funnel web bite would be.
