At the last WM meeting, we discussed black widow spider bites. Carl was kind enough to pull a great paper looking at the symptoms observed by a group that saw at 136 such envenomations. The paper can be found here:
Carl was also kind enough to put together a nice short review of that paper. You can look at that as well below.
I hope you all find this stuff interesting and get a chance to read about it if you missed the meeting. Next post will come from Andrew Kopping and talk about snake envenomations. Will post that one soon.
