More DescriptionThe bite attacks featured in this dramatic book take place in big cities, small towns, and remote villages around the world and throughout history. Some are as familiar and contemporary as encounters with mosquitoes in New York City and snakes in Southern California¿s Hollywood Hills, or as exotic and foreign as the tsetse fly in equatorial Africa, the camel in Riyadh, and the Komodo dragon in Indonesia.
