Hmmmm....I'm not sure what poison critters you're referring to. There's snakes, but they'll do their best to keep away from you if you give them half a chance. Spiders, I s'pose, but if I'm weeding in very high stuff, i wear gloves, 'cause there's thorny things there, too. Wasps - now there's one I don't like. One of those got me last Saturday morning, but that was the first time in several years. But now, there is one poison critter that you've really got to look out for, when they're about. Politicians!!! We just had a primary election, and towards the end, some of them, brain vipers they are, were spewing their venom right and left.
