not nice is it, something to think about if you want to keep hots, some very nasty things can happen from an accident, I know that this was in a poor country where hospital treatment isnt exactly top notch, but it still makes you think.

And that is why you'll never get me near a hot!
I am suprised they didn't amputate long before it got into that state mind you.

Isn't Bothrops Asper the Fer-De-Lance? Those things are evil, they hide out next to paths at night and nab you if you get too close...OPbviously they're not 'out to get us' but they account for
a hell of alot of bites... Ben
