Hasn't someone already done this experiment?
Hmm, let's see, I think his name is BILL HAAST.
I even recall hearing that they have used his blood for antivenin, I believe it was for a man in Fl. But, what do I know? Nothing I guess. Except requiring 6 vials of av is not immunity, slightly resistant maybe, pending on how your body reacts to the venom. Sorry if I sound harsh, but I'd hate to see a passion for herps turn into a suicide.

: Yep, I'm gettin kicked hard-core. The press is on me like a cheap suit. I've already talked to everyone about this, this will not hurt the hobby. These are my choices, this is my responsibility. I did the media gig to relieve some obvious pressure, it helped out. I've talked to the Zoo,many docs, and the NUT ward, they all feel I should continue my work. With some changes of course. If I directly affected anyone in the hobby sector, or personally, I will take issue with them, at any level. As always J, thanks. Tim
