My daddy got snake bit in 1907 by a copperhead at about 5:00 in the evening. All they did is put coal oil (kerosene or no 1 diesel) on it because the doctor did not get there until after 9:00 that night. That is all they had. His hand, arm, and entire left side of his body swelled up (he was 5 at the time) and the doctor really could not and did not do anything. He finally got OK.
My buddy's great grandfather who is closing in on a hundred now has always told us that kerosene is a cure all
I guess it works I've always been to big of a wuss to try it though. Lol

Pore kerosene on a bleeding cut and it will burn for just a little bit but you won't get an infection or lock jaw. At least that is how I remember it back then...
