The main outcome measures include: patient and bite demographics; presenting symptoms and signs; treatment provided; clinical effects at 2\u00a0h post RBAV administration on pain, diaphoresis, blood pressure, heart rate and systemic features; overall clinical impression of RBAV effectiveness and resolution of symptoms prior to discharge.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were 256 patient encounters involving 235 patients.
