Letter: Letters: Snakes alive

Published 4 July 1992

From GLYN WILLIAMS

Anna Merz (Letters, 13 June) wonders why she was not poisoned by swallowing
cobra venom. Any snake venom is a protein that is quickly broken down by
the digestive system; there would be a lot of dead snakes around otherwise.
But I have often wondered, what happens to the poor snake that suffers from
stomach ulcers?
