Thank you. In fact I discovered only about 20 coral snake bites are reported yearly in the US. However, that rarity combined with costs has lead to a shortage in coral snake antivenin. Pfizer stopped producing it in 2012 with nobody looking to make it on the horizon. The FDA extended the expiry date on the extant supply (what does that tell you about “discard after” dates?).
We used to have this cat who had a mottled color. She was not pretty but had some beautiful kittens.
One day I checked in on her in our barn. I knew she had some kittens and just wanted to play with them. When I saw her I was a little surprised.
She had a dead rat, a stunned mouse which she was letting the kittens play with and a dead coral snake.
