Are you sure it is cooking the protein? If that were the case I would expect the protein in your tissues to be cooked as well, resulting in a very bad burn. I think another explaination may be more plausable. When you heat the skin two things happen. The sweat glands open up and discharge fluids and poisons, and blood circulation increases tremendously. Both of these would be expected to transport the poison from the area of the bite much more quickly than normal. Marshall -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
