"A common misunderstanding is that handlers believe they can't get bit or it won't kill them," Hood added. "What they'll tell you is, 'No one will get out of this alive.' They'll also tell you it's not a question of how you live; it's a question of how you die. ... This is how he would have wanted to die."

"They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them..."
-Mark 16:18
