Bill Haast, who founded the Miami Serpentarium, and was bitten 172 times by a wide variety of poisonous snakes, also injected small amounts of snake venom into himself to build up immunity.

Haast lived to almost 101 years old, but on several occasions he stated he did not know if snake venom had anything to do with his very long life.

The Progressiveness of Teddy was incredibly necessary at the time. He was a real American hero in the truest sense of the word.

Glenn Beck is an idiot all together. How that guy ever got famous and stayed on radio is incredible to me. A bigger idiot would be hard to find.

Actually he prefers Poison

Sounds like a great plot point for a TV Detective.

"The suspect has been injecting himself with low doses of snake venom for years! Therefore he was able to drag the victim into the snakepit with no harm to himself."
