Steve, the chart I have doesn't specifically break out snake bites.  It
probably is included in the category "Animal bites (dogs, etc.) which
show _101_.  Whichever cause (snakes or insects) is "more people die
from..." IMnsHO we are talking about insignificant numbers.  (Unless of
course you or one of yours makes that statistic that year.)  For
comparison, more deaths from "Hourse & other animal riding" at 108,
"Freezing" at 1,010, "Drowning" at 4,407, "Murder" at 19,628, and "Motor
vehicle accidents" at 45,901.  This of 2,086,440 deaths.
