I think that's similar to the price of the rattlesnake anti-venom. When I went to a venomous creature talk at the Senora Desert Museum about six years ago, they said the rattlesnake anti-venom sequence cost about $30000. Assuming normal inflation, that would be $60000 or maybe $100000 today. And if you are bitten, you won't necessarily be able to get it anyway. They said you're likelihood of getting bitten was correlated to your own tattoo-to-tooth ratio. Fewer teeth, or more tattoos, and you are more likely to be bitten. Lots of tattoos and very few teeth left, you are at dangerously high risk of rattlesnake bites. Just their experience with who gets bitten. <g>
