Raven, I was unable to find the LTTM report anywhere. I would be interested in it. I did find references to it. Apparently a "venomoid" Cobra envenomated someone at the school? (They do research with venom for human medicine) I'm assuming they did a necropsy and found glands. I would be interested in the background of the snake; if it was known, if it was accurate, what it was, etc.

As far as studies go, even one scientific study doesn't mean a whole lot. Research starts with a theory, if the theory is based on a bias, the findings can be as well (i.e. a study sponsored by the dairy industry on the health risks of margarine). The FDA in the 70's put a warning on saccharin about cancer after 1 flawed study then had to reverse it 30 years later when other studies refuted the findings.
