I've always wanted to collect what statistics conserning anything venomous I possibly could to use for educating others at presentations or displays. I was wondering what kind of statistics anyone here knows they could share hopefully United States based. I know many aren't with solid data or evidence but if it's even something that could be used that can't be argued with would be better than nothing. Examples of what I'm looking for are and I welcome any corrections.

Over 65% of all first bites being dry bites while over 90% of all second bites being envenomations.

Over 85% of all venomous bites being on the hands and lower arms.

Over 95% of all venomous bites being to men

Less than 5% being a true accident and the animal not being provoked.

In the U.S. over 10,000 people bitten by venomous snakes and average less than 15 deaths a year.

Also number of deaths due to other animals every year could be helpful (?deaths a year due to dogs, lifestock, deer, insects).

I've also alaways looked for the number of deaths thought to be directly related to rodent spread diseases.

Thank you very much for any input anyone can give me.
