Use Of Stun Guns For Venomous Bites And Stings

Comments by Crystal Whitten, PhD
  • In the introduction paragraph, the author incorrectly cites 25,000 to 100,000 kV and it should read: 25 to 100 kV and 4.5 A should read 4.5 mA. In the same paragraph, the reference to high amperage shown in the parentheses should read < 190 mA.
  • Regarding references 13 and 25, we feel the animal models they used were not an approximation of what occurs in vivo when a human or animal is envenomated in the wild. 
  • Reference 9 appropriately cites 4.5 mAmps. 
  • Under the safety section of the article, again the amperage quoted as 2.9 to 8.1 Amps and should read milliamps (mA) – reference 3.
