Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Fear is four letters
so is hope
fear might be the mind killer, but hope is the fear killer - that's why rebellions are built on hope, and why bad times and bad actors try to take yours away.
Find yours (given, gifted, or self made), whatever/however, share it, keep it, protect it. :) It's worth it

By combining 8 different nanobodies isolated from alpacas and llamas following immunization with snake venom - this research team has produced an antivenom that not only protects against 17 different snake venoms but also protects from tissue local damage, a major problem associated with bites.
Single antivenom protects against 17 different snakebites
Researchers immunized an alpaca and a llama with snake venoms, and combined some of the antibodies produced into a potent cocktail.
