I'm having a difficult time thinking of an item that could be more ponderable regarding its wisdom in a first aid kit. I assume you're talking about a little cut & suck kit. There's a good amount of legend behind their effectiveness but tons of analysis that indicates they are no good.
Any informed opinions on snake bite treatment?
