Venom Day

Education that saves lives, hosted by Jonathan Leeming

Overview

Venom day is something different. Highly interactive and participative, the idea behind Venom Day is simple. Participants submit their questions to Jonathan before the event (or I direct the conversation according to the current burning questions at that time). 

Anything venomous animal related goes! How venom works, antivenom manufacture and use, current status of envenomation research in Southern Africa, new approaches to spider bites, scorpion stings, snakebites, centipede bites, jellyfish stings, sting ray stings. First response techniques and the best places to ask for advice. Participant are encouraged to ask questions and help direct the conversation.

After the event, Jonathan will email some links to further resources based upon the topics discussed during the session.
