Well, we have a lot of critters here. Almost all are poisonous.
Then there are patriots like me. (Yes, I really am one.)
Last time I got stung by a tarantula hawk, three days of pain ensued. Then it died.
(I’ve been stung and bitted over 100 times. Wasps, black and brown widows, murder hornets, etc. Kinda immune now. My blood actually kills anything that bites/stings me.)
So you are using venom exposure as your excuse, eh?
Whatever works, I guess. Anything to avoid the actual truth.
