[meteorite-list] Mojave Green Jeans - Images of a Killer Snake

[Adam Hupe]

I was told by a local nurse that the average cost to treat a Mojave Green snake 
bite is between $60,000.00 and $70,000.00.  I asked why so expensive?  She 
claimed that illegal aliens, working mostly out-of-doors with no insurance are 
mainly to blame. None have insurance and the anti-venom is difficult to keep on 
hand.  She claimed that many U.S. citizens with insurance have died because they 
could not get access to it in time, partly because it was used on somebody else 
without insurance.  This in part is why the treatment is so expensive.  Only a 
few are able to afford it.  You better make sure your health insurance covers 
such things.

Be Careful and Happy Hunting,
