Who's afraid of Gila Monsters?

  • Who's afraid of Gila Monsters? Do you fear poisonous lizards?

    EDIT: there seems to be no way to edit poll answers, so I think you will have to cope with my dyslexia.:blush:

  • According to some websites, they are not dangerous unless you provoke them. And that also goes up for the lizards 😉

    Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.

  • If they are provoked into an attack, then they bite swiftly and hard, chewing the venom into the punctured, ravaged flesh of their tormentor, releasing only when the shocked victim is submissive and compliant - or dead. Victims of these savage maulings don't often die from a Gail Gila attack but they learn never to provoke again.

    Quite right too.

  • I am very afraid of Gila Monsters when they have spotted poor indexing! 😉

  • Gila Monsters - the critters, not Gail, have a strange defense. Rather than a venum per se, their mouths are so full of bacteria and basicsally nasty that their bite is poisenous. They're not known to brush or floss much and kill / maim their victums by a sheer lack of personal hygiene. :sick:

    The illness from their bite may take time to work, but they can wait for their kill.

  • Seeing as how in the grand state of IL I have an extremly low chance of actually encountering one I can say I have never given thought to weather I would or would not be scared of them. Now Politicians from IL they scare the crap out of me. Will Blago ever go away?

    If only I could snap my figures and have all the correct indexes apear and the buffer clean and.... Start day dream here.
