The name of the genus derives from the Ancient Greek acanthos referring to the spine on the death adder's tail. Seven species are listed by ITIS, though it remains unclear how many species this genus includes, with figures ranging from 4 to 15 species being quoted. A bite from a death adder causes paralysis. While this paralysis is very minor at first, it can cause death from a complete respiratory shutdown in as little as six hours. Symptoms peak in 24-48 hours. Symptoms of envenomation can be reversed through the use of death adder antivenom, or using anticholinesterases, which break the synaptic blockade by

Before antivenom was introduced, more than 50% of death adder bites were fatal. Now, with the antivenom, and due to the slow progression of envenomation symptoms, fatalities from death adder bites are very rare in Australia.


Junior Seau committed suicide in his home May 2nd. When something tragic like this happens, when it a 12-time NFL All-Pro and a beloved figure, the collective reaction is: Why? The debate begins. Some think repeated brain trauma from playing in the NFL caused his mind to deteriorate.  cheap nike jerseys Others speculate that Seau inability to leave the game behind may have contributed to severe depression. Enough to nearly drown out another side-effect a positive side-effect -- of a high-profile tragedy like this: It not just about Junior Seau. All athletes at all levels will benefit from the attention his case brings to long-term health and safety issues. Example: The media rush to tell the story forces new terminology into society lexicon. But now both sports fans and the medical community are talking in-depth about chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a condition that causes progressive degeneration of the brain tissue from repeated pounding. Symptoms include memory loss, confusion, aggression, and depression. But here the catch: Those symptoms may not appear until years after an athlete has quit his or her game. Here another catch: No test can detect it. It can only be found during a post-mortem exam. Recently, CTE has been discovered in 20 other deceased former NFL players, several NHL enforcers, and boxers.

 

The number 26 should be Rod Woodson played 18 years pro bowl eleven times and in pros verses joes could still hit. Ialso I am a cowboy fan but the cowboy with the number 33 has to be the one out of TCU Slinging Sammy Baugh he led the league in all kinds of stats passing, punting, interceptions not thrown but picked off and my favorite most cussing in a single interview. Dorsett was great but he had a great line. Just one that I liked and he sure could run was Christian Okoye at number 35 he did not play long but he holds alot of KC records. The last is number 44 Otto Graham again look at his stats he led the Browns to the title game 10 times in ten years and won 7 of them he also had 7 passing titles I like John Riggins but we shouldnt let one good season and one great super bowl put him above 7 Titles. This is Fun. Oh by the way I am an Earl Campbell fan also and he did play in the number 35 jersey if you want to give a guy a break after houston ran him to death with no line.Make angry trips to assist you to Posterize defenders
