Are Snakebites Fatal?

Sometimes.

​A Photographic History of Snakebite treatments, is a visual expedition of serpent bite cures. Ever wonder what the difference is between a venomous snake and a poisonous snake is? After reading Snakebite Treatments, now I know. Join me on the adventure of snake curiosities by reading this book. You’ll find a photographic museum between the pages. Papyrus dated between 330 and 660 BCE contained treatments and spells to cure venomous snake bites and scorpion stings. Modern science has debunked the spells – but if I were bitten by a venomous snake I’d try every treatment available – including magic! This delightful book informs us just how lethal snakes are and what a menace they’ve been to society throughout civilizations. I highly recommend getting a copy for yourself, or the curious person in your life that would appreciate the history of medicine, experiments, and treatments throughout history.
