Guest Mallam Posted April 23, 2011 No one has ever died from a snake bite in the UK, the bite of the adder is akin to a bee sting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest 47403 Posted April 23, 2011 Last reported death from an adder bite in the UK was 1975, about 100 people a year get bitten so chances of dying are pretty slim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you're right there mate - if you got hit in the head with a meteorite, your chances of dying would be pretty high! Nearly there! Don't drop the ball now guys! Vaccines are weeks away.
