Thank you so much for publishing all my reviews of events across East Cambridgeshire before Christmas.
I cheekily include a photo of me that you might like to use in the future.
I am now writing a sequel to my book John, Dementia and Me which is a whodunit. I’d be very grateful for any help with the research.
Questions I have yet to have answered:
• Would a toxicology test show that a victim had died of a red back spider bite (or other venomous creature from Australia) if the scientists knew the victim had been poisoned but did not know the source of the poison?
• Would it be possible for a victim with a heart problem to die within an hour after being bitten by a red-back?
• After the initial pain felt from a bit on the foot, would the victim be able to limp for a while? What would the victim experience next before dying?
I would be very grateful if any readers could get in touch if they know the answers.
