by the word overrule? All krait bites are neurotoxic and have the potential to be fatal if not properly treated in an expeditious manner.

what species bites more people...maybe I'm wrong. I think that data would be hard to figure out, as most bite victims by kraits probably don't know what bit them (or even if they were bit in some cases), but I'm sure B. caeruleus is probably a contender for #1...that's just a guess though, don't take it as gospel.

I'm not sure what I meant, but I am very against the whole LD50 thing for info on what species of what is more toxic to humans.

Sorry about the confusion, and take er easy.

Yes, LD50s are quite misleading, however, until the scientific types come out with something more accurate: I simply don't know what else can be utilized to determine toxicity.

For the right price I would be a test dummy...LOL.. Sad thing is I'm serious.
