I have to say that when buying a book for all the illnesses you hope that it will be able to help you.
This book not only told you the illness and what it looks like, it also tells you the best thing to do.
Then we have the bites part of the book and this i found to be better as it was more userfriendy and gave you a clear cut view of what to do in the caswe of say a snake bite.
I would not go on just my opinion as people find different books eaasier to use. loook around because there are book such as 'Bite Back' that are of the same standard as this book.
If you haven't a good book for illnes and bites then i'd say buy this book, but as they say all the illness and bite book are 'same old, same old'.
