Most of these factors would allow for more than 30 seconds for amputation before the cns or other vital organs are in serious danger (again, depending on the location of the bite), but probably less than, say 3 or 5 minutes.
I'd post more about this, but it's 12:20AM and I need to make my 8:00 class tomorrow morning. |
This person knows what they are talking about. Are you studying medicine by any chance? I'm studying to be a paramedic.
