HAHA, ya call to arms would be cool, im just about to teach Shane that one.....its gonna be sweet....
Agreed about the diamond back, while they may be the same kind of toxin, they certainly are NOT the same dosage....a brown recluse has to kill an insect lets say 2-3 times bigger than itself...at MOST....
A dimond back must have enough venom to kill a rabbit or other fast moving animal and kill it FAST before it has time to run off to far, so the snake can then find it....
I watched this discovery special on venom where this guy got bit on his arm by a diamond back and tryed to walk home, but didnt make it and passed out in the desert....
His friend found him a day later and took him to the hospitol....his arm had rotted away, it seriously looked like how a body looks when they find it in a river a couple days later.....hugely bloated, purple, and bone stuck out....god, nasty....
