[pct-l] Snike bite Kit....!

[metam01 at earthlink.net (Monty Tam)]

Good Idea, Greg

Including as a baby........50 years of camping, fishing........and other
stuff.

Times bitten...................zero

Friends Bitten.................zero

Friends who have a friend who was bitten.......................zero

Friends who know of anyone being bitten........................zero

Zero except for some cows when I was a kid that were bitten by massasauga
rattlesnakes (Michigan rattlers).
