Can't stand all these poisonous creatures, all these snakes and insects and fish and things. Wretched things, biting everybody. And then people expect me to tell them what to do about it. I'll tell them what to do. Don't get bitten in the first place. (quoting Dr. Struan Sutherland)

Summary

This quote, from Dr. Struan Sutherland, expresses frustration towards dealing with dangerous creatures and the expectation to provide a solution. Sutherland humorously implies that the best course of action is prevention: avoiding getting bitten in the first place. The quote reflects a sentiment of exasperation and perhaps highlights the simplicity of some problems; sometimes the solution is as straightforward as taking necessary precautions to avoid hardship or harm.
