I hit two nasty unseen opened curbs in rapid succession on my ride yesterday. The front tube suffered a snake bite puncture and had to be replaced on the ride. I would like to know whether it is smart and wise to patch and re-use a tube with a snake bite puncture.

Or just toss the tube? I have never had this kind of puncture b/4 in all my years of cycling experience, thus kinda flustered about it.
