  1. Thank you for. Your brilliant presentation on scorpion stings. It was most enlightening and easy to understand. I like the way you included values and beliefs and how they can, distract us from responding to a scorpion sting. I look forward to your next presentation.

  2. I attended your presentation as a recommendation from a friend. Your reputation as the top scorpion experts in South Africa is spot on. Your presentation demonstrated a unique insight into these animals that I have never experienced with anyone else. Keep up the great work, we need more of you in the world.

  3. Thank you for presenting at our members meeting. We rarely have speakers such as yourself with such indepth understanding of their subject (scorpions and scorpion stings) and such an easy and informal style of presenting. Some of our members have already asked me to arrange for you to speak to them again.

    1. Hi Anita. I'm pleased I made such an impact. I like to think I have a unique perception of my subject because of my involvement in a number of medical and conservation organisations. I'd be happy to speak at another member meetings in the future.

  4. As usual, it was extremely informative to have Jonathan as a host of the members meeting of the Transvaal branch of SA Hunters. We look forward to inviting him in the near future.
