This is an old technique that no longer is recommended. The best thing to do is to get to the ER as quickly as possible. Keep the victim calm as you transport them. Anti-venom is the the best remedy if you are in the US. If you are in Australia, the best method is to apply a pressure bandage, not a tourniquet because most vipers down south have short fangs and inject their venom into the lymphatic system as opposed to vipers in the US that use neurotoxins. African and European vipers also use neurotoxins, so antivenom is the best cure.

It is also thought that, to some extent, snakes have natural antivenom in their systems.
