Bitten : True Medical Stories of Bites and Stings

Fifteen chapters describe numerous ways to die, or perhaps wish you did, from cuts, bites, and other assorted ways to transmit diseases.

Perhaps the most interesting chapter is that on human bites, fist fighting and sticking various parts of your anatomy down someone's throat. Compared to what is described there, I'll take a king cobra bite in place of it anytime.
