Woodland Park Zoo antivenin saves BC man from viper bite

Posted in Health News at 7:00 am by Administrator

A medical team worked around the clock to figure out what type of snake bit the man. The symptoms pointed to a Fer-de-lance Bothrops asper, native to Central and South America, which is known to cause death in humans.

Doctors contacted Woodland Park Zoo and Harborview Medical Center Tuesday. Twenty vials of antivenin, kept by the zoo for emergencies for a Mexican species of pit vipers, were airlifted to Vancouver.

The man’s condition improved within minutes of receiving the antivenin and his condition stabilized within six hours. Without the work of the doctors and the zoo, medical experts said the man would have died.

Buying exercise shoes: How to buy the right pair

Posted in Health News at 7:00 am by Administrator

• By: Terri Ouellette

Buying just any running shoe isn’t the best way to do it.

There are different classifications of footwear styles designed specifically for different foot types and activities.

The right footwear choice will make all the difference in terms of avoiding injuries and making your experience a positive one.

Point One: Selecting the correct footwear style is the most important thing!
Point Two: Shoes don’t last for ever, or even a couple of years.
Point Three: Size matters!
Point Four: Color is cool… but it’s not the best reason to select your shoe style.
