Summary:We've all been bitten, and we all have stories. The bite attacks that Pamela Nagami has chosen to write about in this book take place all around the world, and throughout history. With reports from medical journals, case histories, colleagues, and her own career as a practicing physician and infectious disease specialist, the author offers readers intrigued by infection, disease, and mesmerized by creatures in the wild a compulsively readable narrative that is entertaining, sometimes disturbing, and always engrossing. -- Publisher description.
