Abstract

Birders and other ecotourists are traveling to increasingly remote areas of the world where sophisticated medical care may be difficult to obtain. This report presents a case of a Bushmaster (Lachesis muta muta) bite in Peru and details the difficulties encountered from initial care to evacuation and definitive medical care.
