I have no personal experience with this subject i.e. the use of electricity to neutralize venom from a bite, and mentioned it only as an avenue for investigation. I would think that the use of a stun gun on an eleven year old girl (or a forty year old man for that matter) would be pretty bloody stupid to put it mildly. The thought was more along the lines of the Bob Beck blood purifing machine. Interestingly, there is a reference to this specific issue given in the "Explore" article about Beck's work. So at the end I still can't tell you whether it works or not but it is at least something more than just an old wives' tale. Maybe someone can retrieve the original "Lancet" article and any other relevant references pro and con. Cisco, given the abundance of nasty critters in your neighborhood the results of such a study might be of particular practical interest for you.
Below is a snip from the article followed by the URL for the complete piece. Best to all. Doug. . . . In a remarkable discovery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, N.Y.C. in 1990, it was shown that a minute current (50 to 100 MICRO amperes) can alter outer protein layers of HIV virus in a petri dish so as to prevent its subsequent attachment to receptor sites. (SCIENCE NEWS, March 30, 1991 page 207.) It may also reverse Epstein Barr (chronic fatigue syndrome), hepatitis, and herpes B. HIV positive users of this enclosed information may expect a NEGATIVE p24 surface antigen or PCR test (no more HIV detectable in blood) after 30 days. This is reminiscent of a well proven cure for snakebite by application of electric current that instantly neutralizes the venom's toxicity. (LANCET, July 26, 1986, page 229.) And there may be several other as yet undiscovered or untested viruses neutralizable with this discovery. . . .
