Cobra Bite Heroic 1200 Mile Serum Rescue in Missouri
In St Joseph Missouri a cobra bite to William White 32 from a reptile garden nearly proved fatal. Serum from Bombay India was flown from Miami by Coast Guard helicopter to assist White who survived after the anti venom was administered six hours after the bite.

The serum was the only supply in the United States. The incident highlighted cross country medical logistics in emergency venom treatment.
