If someone got bit by a snake or other deadly venomous creature on their hand of foot would isolating the poison in that limb by applying a tourniquet be a good/potentially life saving thing to do..?
Logic being the infected blood cannot reach the vital organs/systems granting time to get treatment or anti venom.
If not then why.. ?

The ONLY appropriate use of a tourniquet is for traumatic bleeding control.
It is not particularly helpful in the case of a snake bite and will damage tissue.
