Here's a quirky story I came across.

A person had neuropathy for a few years, was bitten by a rattlesnake, had to be hospitalized for three days with an anti-venom treatment and his neuropathy seemed to go away.

This person doesn't know whether it was the snake venom or the anti-venom that made the difference.

The 2010 post is brief and doesn't say whether this ended up to be permanent or temporary. However, the post sounds like a sincere recounting of an unusual experience.

I thought I'd pass it along, although I don't recommend trying it at home without the supervision of your doctor and possibly a snake handler.
