Rattler,

It was all a long time ago but if I remember correctly, the current breaks the chains of protein up into much smaller pieces and therefore stops the effect of the venom rather than destroys it.......... I could well be wrong on that but that's what I seem to remember and if it's right, it would probably explain why it doesn't affect the flesh.

Could also be the fact that the venom is a liquid (albeit a thick one) and consequently is affected differently..... after all, body tissue isn't usually greatly affected by electric shock.


Have you swept the visioned valley with the green stream streaking though it?
Searched the vastness for a something you have lost?
Have you strung your soul to silence? Then for God's sake go and do it
Hear the challenge, learn the lesson, pay the cost
