So if its venom and not simply bacteria, why have humans bit by these animals died from heart failure years after their initial bite? I suspect the venom may be the cause of rapid death, but survivors who have died years later of heart failure I suspect may be due to infection.

Of course, I’m not studying this.

Er, how did reptile biology miss something this obvious for so long?

We're just now finding out Komodo dragons are venomous? and that only after an MRI?

Seems like kind of a major oversight.

“They attack their victim by biting and tearing at it repeatedly, then wait as it dies a lingering death.”

The same could be said of the American MSM.
