Offered for auction is a rare WWII USA Army Medical ''Snake Bite Kit''. The kit was made exactly in the size to be worn in the webbing first aid pouch. It is complete and in relatively good condition for its age. Please see attache dphoto's as they are part of the description.. Uncleaned, as found condition. Everything still put in the kit like how it was - looks great for display. The Snake-Bite Kit, sometimes designated Suction Kit, was a first-aid item used against snake or poison insect bites, and for wounds caused by poison arrows or other missiles. It is to be used together with a Tourniquet. The Kit was distributed among troops operating in closed and remote jungle areas. In some cases, it would have been used as a personal first-aid item by Aidmen and Hospital Corpsmen or by individual soldiers. This is a really difficult to find item which will be a fantastic item in your WW2 collection!
