Re: Snake Emergency Numbers
Thanks. There is a lot of info in that piece. The article is really aimed at professionals so most of what they describe is outside the scope of practice of Joe Average. Some of the info is interesting. Some of it is not relevant to the South African situation and the snakes we have here.
