You don’t need to be hiking in the wilderness to experience a venomous creature attack. This seminar will help you recognize venomous creatures, and teach you what to do to avoid being bitten or attacked.
A tragedy occurred recently involving a landscaper in Encinitas, who was killed after suffering hundreds of bee stings when his backhoe apparently disturbed a colony of bees. In a separate incident, an 18 year old boy nearly died from a rattlesnake bite in Del Mar as well.
As many as 8,000 Americans are bitten by venomous snakes each year and dozens die, or suffer pain and disfigurement, as a result. And that’s just snakes. Add to that bees, wasps, spiders, scorpions, fire ants………….and you’re looking at attacks in the tens of thousands, and many more fatalities and suffering.
Many of these attacks occur at home or at the person’s place of business. Do you and your employees know how to recognize venomous creatures? Do you know where they are likely to be found……have an understanding of their behavior…..and even more important, know what to do if “envenomated?”
As the weather begins to get warmer, the number of attacks increases. Ensure that you and your employees are aware of the risks and are armed with the knowledge needed to recognize these dangers and deter or prevent a devastating outcome.
