D'Coda has successfully used a mixture of activated charcoal and calcium bentonite clay as a thick poultice for viper venom. The poultice is about an inch thick and extended beyond the bite itself (as far as practical), bound in plastic wrap to keep it moist, changed every hour initially and then every 2-3 hours. If on a leg, the leg is kept propped up. The root of Echinacea (fresh is ideal) is kept in the mouth to allow slow penetration through the oral tissues into the blood stream (this is how it was used by Native Americans) for as long as seems necessary, generally until its determined that serious effects of venom are not a concern. Skullcap tincture is given to assist the victim in staying calm (very important). If you don't have both charcoal and bentonite clay, you can use either one by itself.
