The Worlds Most Poisonous Places
I watched a programme of Sky Three last night called The Worlds Most Poisonous Places and surprise surprise, can you guess where the No. 1 place was?
In fact can you guess which country featured three times in the top ten?!

Let me guess, NO 1 was the Australian Animal Reptile Park wehre they also make the anti-venom. Saw that program just before we left too. I now live approx 10 miles from there 
and have been twice. But there all under lock and key and they encourage you to catch funnel webs for the venom :scared:
