[NHCOLL-L:2914] Preparation of venomous snakes

[Karen Cebra]

Is there any danger posed to a preparator when processing venomous snakes? 
In the many years I have been preparing specimens, I have always used 
extra caution with such specimens. However, it would be great to know what 
the risks really are!

Thanks in advance,
