1. A method of treating a toxic effect a patient experiences as a result of an insect bite or snakebite, said method comprising the steps of
applying to a site of such a bite an instantaneous electric discharge from a hand-operated piezoelectric instrument that is isolated from ground during use, said instrument including
a housing having a barrel and a handle,said barrel including a wire that extends along the barrel and terminates at a tip that projects outward from the barrel,said handle including a trigger,said housing containing a piezoelectric crystal held between two sections of a vice member,a mechanical linkage connecting the trigger to the vice member, while a user holds the instrument by the handle with one hand and while gripping the trigger with a finger of said one hand, depressing said trigger to actuate the mechanical linkage so that the two sections of the vice member apply pressure to the crystal to generate the discharge at the tip, holding the tip directly on the site as the trigger is depressed. |
