The best idea,
use a snake stick to make sure you don't stick your hands where you can't see.

The US Army survival guide says to try and squeeze as much of the poison
out as possible. They also say NOT to try and suck it out because it
will go right though the skin in your mouth and you'll end up with
poison in 2 places, or 2 people poisoned. Thats all I can remember off
the top of my head...
