Deadly Encounters With Coral Snakes

About this ebook
The coral snake is a burrowing and secretive snake. For this reason alone there are sparse encounters between humans and this reptile. However, especially with the rise of camping and outdoor activities, humans have firsthand contact with them. My e-book tells about people who have come across contact with the snakes while on scouting trips and even one Florida resident who had the misfortune of picking one up while he was mowing the lawn. Coral snakes are the only snake found in America that had venom like a cobra, only in less quantity. There is an urgency to find antivenin for anyone who is bitten by a coral snake because its venom will shut down a human's nervous system completely. In some cases, as my book notes, sufficient antivenin was only available from zoos.

Deadly Encounters With Coral Snakes
Published by Robert Grey Reynolds Jr. at Smashwords
Copyright 2015 by Robert Grey Reynolds Jr.
Like a long, polished necklace of jet and coral and pearl in alternate beads, the pursuer appeared, a living jewel that sparkled and vanished among the stones and fleshy leaves.
The head, enameled in black and scarlet, was half raised as he slowly wound along, and the eyes, small and rather dim, were fixed upon his victim. Beautiful rather than terrible he must have seemed to one who had never seen his like before.
Slender in shape, glossy, and so richly, yet tastefully colored, he reminded one of some antique ornament that Cleopatra or Semiramis might have worn around her dusky throat when sitting in state upon her throne.
Figure 1 The Death of Cleopatra by Gyula Benczur But I knew the death that lay beneath the beauty; I recognized at a glance the
