Personally, I do not believe that nobody has ever died from bites. I am specifically thinking of the very potent African arboreals out there - if they can kill dogs, then they would have no problem killing a young child. I personally don't believe that they have never killed anyone in all of history... they probably have and we just haven't heard about it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
