Emergency First Response 1st Aid and CPR training in Pattaya. The internet is a place that can be full of inaccurate information about first aid treatments, such as putting butter on a burn, or sucking the venom from a snake bite. As any first aid instructor will tell you, putting butter (or any other food product) on a burn won’t help, and you should never attempt to suck the venom out of a snake bite. https://www.mermaidsdivecenter.com
