TALKING OF MEDICATION.

Having mentioned biologist William Donald Hamilton in the previous posting, the writer read a remarkable obituary following the death of a certain Bill Haast. Haast, an American, born in New Jersey, spent most of his life studying venomous snakes. During his lifetime, he survived over a 170 bites, 20 of which would have killed most victims. His aim in life was the study of saving life by collecting snake venom. For 60 years he injected himself daily with a cocktail of 32 different venoms, and went on to live to be a hundred years of age.


OBVIOUSLY HAAST AND HAMILTON HAD DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHIES.
