NATURE | Black Mamba | Preview | PBS

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/black-mamba/introduction/5260/?utm_so... Untreated, the bite of the black mamba has a fatality rate of 100 percent, making it a killer among killers on a continent where it is thought that nearly 20,000 people die of snake bites each year. Now snake handlers and Swaziland residents Thea Litschka-Koen and her husband, Clifton, are trying to save lives and change attitudes about Africa's deadliest snake.

"Black Mamba" airs on PBS Sunday, October 3, 2010 at 8pm (check local listings) and is part of the 29th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen in association with WNET.ORG for PBS.

I know not everyone in africa has a bicylce but there's more of them than plumbing-systems in some such areas. You'd like to think if you lived near dangerous animals at least your neighbour might have a snakey claw and a bag for such an emergency? Its hardly the dark-ages for these people, they do know about skyscrapaers and diode generators.
