To Donovan and Rick:
 
Good points.  Justin's chapter pretty much covers the field.  He has
first hand experience since he got bit on the finger by a Rattlesnake.
Got mighty sick.  Several weeks later he had a really bloated, ugly finger.
 
Personally, I think he over-states the case against immunotherapy
treatments.  They do work.  I have colleagues who do research in remote
areas where Medical attention is not convenient.  My feelings, venon is
plentiful, the pharmaceutical companies have little interest - not
enough sales.  So, treatment is articially expensive.  It doesn't have to be.
