•Q: How do I clean the Poison Extractor ?
•A: Ordinary clean warm water will do the job. If
soap is used, you have to lubricate only the o-ring inside the tube - the
o-ring is the black rubber ring on the lever. Normally the poison is not sucked up
inside the tube, but will be located on the skin sucked out of the wound.
•
•Q: How long time after a stung can I use the
vacuum effect ?
•A: The sooner the better. In case of insects it
can be used up to two hours after the sting, but the more time the poison is
inside the body the more the poison will spread into the body.
•
•Q: Why can it be difficult to use it on hairy
body parts ?
•A: This is not a problem. If you think so - use
water or mouth water (saliva), and hair will lie down and the Poison Extractor
can easily be applied.
•
•Q: Can it also suck the stinger out of the wound
?
•A: Yes, if the stinger is not fastened deep in
the skin. The advice is to remove the stinger with the special designed ends
of the lever. Do not use your fingers and squeeze the stinger out - in this way you
only push more poison into the body. You just softly scrape with one of the ends of
the lever, in such a way that the stinger is being scraped out.
•
•Q: Why do I have to buy the Poison Extractor,
when I can buy an ordinary syringe and cut off the bottom ?
•A: Because a syringe does not have the necessary
suction effect (power). Further, it is not possible to use the syringe without
the help from others as you have to use your free hand to fasten the syringe
to the skin.
•
•Q: Why is it white ?
•A: It is clinical and the color make the product
easy to find if lost. Green and yellow colors attract insects and a
transparent (clear) item is difficult to find if lost.
•
•Q: Can it be used for other poisons like poison
from snakes and scorpions ?
•A: The basic idea with the Poison Extractor is
that you suck the poison out the way it entered. In all cases where poison is
being injected and leave a channel in the skin, the Insect Poison Extractor will
have effect.
