Second Page (Venomous Bites in Society and Culture)

  • Cleopatra, one character in an Arthur Conan Doyle story; what do these characters have in common? These are fictional characters that have died of venomous bites that could be found within a short internet search. What else do they all have in common? They did not possess this fantastic book on venom and antidotes. Mistake number one. This book is really good you guys. It's questionable whether or not fictional characters created after this book can die of venomous bites. We believe readers would find it unrealistic.

Steps on curing venomous bites (Also second page):

  1. Grab Venomous Creature
  2. Poke Teeth Into the net above the cup
  3. Push down on back of the head
  4. Milk Dat Creature
  5. Make Anti-Venom
  6. Use the Anti-Venom
  7. You're Okay Now
  8. Don't Get Bit Again, Please
