Description
Griffin Publishing Bitten by Pamela Nagami
In "Bitten", Dr. Pamela Nagami presents startling true cases of bite attacks, resulting infections, and ensuing treatments: from ticks, ants, and flying bats to elephant seals, komodo dragons, and - deadliest of all - humans. Some are as familiar and contemporary as the mosquito and West Nile virus or as exotic and foreign as African Sleeping Sickness or Leishmaniasis. Engrossing, instructive, accurate, and marvellous fun to read, "Bitten" will capture the imagination of medical students, practitioners, scientists as well as armchair fans of The Discovery Channel.
