Send us a text

This is a part 2 episode of Ask Dr Jessica with toxicologist Dr Michael Levine.  In this episode we talk about all of the creepy, crawly animals that most of us want to avoid!  We talk all about snake bites, spider bites (including black widows, brown recluse and scorpions), and what to do if bitten by a squirrel, raccoon, bat or other potential rabid animal. Dr Levine provides great information giving parents the tools to know what to do if ever bitten by an animal, and when to seek medical attention.
