ECO Publishing Launches a New Book on the History of Snakebite Treatments

ECO Wear & Publishing, a publisher specializing in books on reptiles and natural clothing, announces the release of a photographic book tracing the history of snakebite treatments, titled "A Photographic History of Snakebite Treatments: Bad Medicine: Snake Oil, Potions, Elixirs, and Kits". This book is the result of collaboration among several reptile experts, co-authored by Bob Ashley, Charles F. Smith, and Gordon W. Schuett, with an introduction by Kimberly M. Wyatt and William K. Hayes, as well as a foreword by Sir David Warrell. Aimed at herpetologists, clinicians, and historians, this work will also captivate the general public with its rich photographs and fascinating historical details.

The book offers a historical journey through the ages, exploring snakebite treatments from early writings such as Hebrew Scriptures and Egyptian papyri, to modern approaches based on clinical and medical foundations. "Serpents are symbolic across cultures, countries, and centuries, and snakebites are a universal fear among humans," explains co-author Bob Ashley.

ECO Wear & Publishing is known for publishing over 40 titles on reptiles and amphibians, and for the quality of its products promoting wildlife. "A Photographic History of Snakebite Treatments" promises to be both an informative reference guide and an attractive coffee table book to engage in conversations.
