That’s right. Huge needles straight into the solar plexus, wasn’t it? And you had to get them straight away. If symptoms had started to develop, you were royally fùcked.

I don’t blame you. I remember a programme where some bloke got it off of a fox and then gave it to his girlfriend with a love bite.
