We've got hornets and habu, which are a kind of poisonous snake. We also
have poisonous sea snakes, about 3 kinds of poisonous jellyfish, several
assorted poisonous fish, etc. It can get complicated too, you've got to

vinegar, which ones you rush to the hospital, and which ones you try to get
your goodbyes in real quick.
