And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
selsey.steve, that is complete nonsense. The prescribed treatment for envenomated eye is a 15-20 minute wash with whatever inert fluid is available; there is no real evidence that milk is better than water, just need to wash the venom out thoroughly. A visit to a Dr. for some anti-inflam. & antibiotic is recommended as well. The locals will lay a brother down & urinate in their eyes to wash it out, water being scarce at times. No evidence that works any better either. And eye injury is rare when basic 1st aid is rendered quickly.
I do that when I yawn, though I only emit one stream.

ReplyDeleteIt's a spitting cobra, common in central Africa. The venom can blind in minutes, only copious amounts of milk can wash it out, water is no use.
