Cobra Bite Victim Recovers After Long Serum Flight
A 32 year old man at a reptile garden in St Joseph Missouri was bitten by a four foot Indian cobra. The Coast Guard and Air Force flew anti cobra serum from Miami to St Joseph and the serum was given six hours after the bite. The venom is highly dangerous with a single drop capable of fatality.
