“If you are ever bit by a poisonous snake and no immediate emergency care is available, an electric shock will neutralize the poison and save your life. A stun gun is ideal. Jumper cables connected to a car battery will also work.”
That is 100% untrue. That legend started long ago. The testimonial stories are indeed true. HOWEVER, a sizable percentage of snakebites are dry bites...no venom injected. In such cases you could do a voodoo incantation over the bitten person and it would appear to work.
So you will either electrocute a person who doesn’t need help, OR you will electrocute an envenomated victim and speed up their heart rate.
Don’t do it.
“Don’t do it.”
In my opinion, electroshock is a viable treatment. But this is not medical advice, as I am not a medical doctor. There is a significant amount of research. There are pros and cons. Here is one compilation:

Instead do the “X” incision with your knife at both punctures and suck out the poison. Right?
