Why don't you put ice on a snake bite?

OMG... I hope that medic was pulling someone's leg... *cry*

Sticky cancer cells? Wish it was that easy! Then you could go in with velcro wipes and *poof*! Problem solved!

Velcro treatment for cancer? I think that one deserves a randomized, double blind study. Any volunteers?

Does all this talk about snake bites give anyone else the heeby-jeebies?

I am waiting for a snake to come out under my desk and bite my foot.....

I just gave a lecture on Toxicology last week. The Brady books put snake bites, Black Widow bites, Scorpion stings, and things in this chapter. It was a very interesting class.

We do not get any of those calls around here. Of course the potential is there, especially at the Maine Military Authority. Those Hummers come in with a lot of Black Widows and other pests in them.
