On one of the TV shows, I don't remember the name but it's the one with the Miami Fire Dept Venom One guys, the one they call Big Country caught an eastern diamondback and had some venom on his hand. He proceeded to lick it off his hand and explained to the man standing there with him and the camera that it was not poison but venom and then explained the difference between the two. He also said that you shouldn't do what he just did as he was only doing it to better explain the difference between the two. I thought he did pretty good explaining the difference which is unusual for a TV show. This show seems to be better than most of the other shows about snakes and lizards as most of them don't seem to really know what they are talking about.
