Phew!! just saw this program on Nat Geo about venomous animals!! Seen loads of the kind earlier as well, but this one just gripped my attention!! Nah!! Not so much the animals they were studying ( will write about what I felt abt them too, but that might come later), it was actually the guy who was researching these animals. Brave he sure was, but I thought he was more like Don Quixote....foolishly intrepid!! Someone who gets himself bitten by poisonous ants and deadly scorpions has GOT to be one!! All the semantics about being true to the profession and giving your all..blah blah blah is fine, but you need to maintain atleast a semblance of sanity or is that asking for too much?!

And, as if that was'nt enough, these guys came up with the most morbid and gross pictures of the poor, helpless victims...what really got to me was the effect this venom had on humans....tissues and limbs, consumed by the poison, forced into disfigurement, even mutilation at times...just left a bad taste in the mouth...I cd'nt even wade through the entire episode!!
Maybe, I need to become stronger to take in such graphic scenes of misery and suffering, or maybe a wee bit insensitive....
