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.
