The reason they can kill with one bite is because their saliva contains a gazillion different types of bacteria that pretty much overwhelm the immune system of anything they bite.... hence, it takes days to work.... but it works.

It's usually enough to kill mice and small birds, though. Fortunately, not humans. (usually)

I liked the fact they focused on the drool of the dragon!
That's gotta stink though -- you bite your prey, and then you've got to wait days before enjoying the meal! It's like ordering a pizza on Saturday and then having the delivery guy come on Tuesday!
One question, though: if these things are so deadly, how did that camera guy get so close?!? He must not have been union! Quote:

Theognome | Say, doesn't Domino's pride itself in their delivery? Don't they have some rule that says if they don't get the pizza to you in 30 days that it's free? Quote:

This explains how the Benny Hinn cameramen are able to get so close without being "slain in the Spirit"! | | The Following User Says Thank You to Marrow Man For This Useful Post: | |
