Part Six Fill the gaps in this text with a suitable word or words. The first one has been done for you.

Though the Southwestern Deserts of the United States are home to an assortment of

poisonous creatures, these are rarely aggressive towards humans. You can

protect 36 and others by observing obvious precautions – don’t

attempt to handle wildlife, keep your eyes 37 as you walk and watch

40 trouble. If you are bitten or stung, current medical thinking

rejects the concept of cutting yourself open and 41 to suck

out the venom.

cold compress to the wound, and use a tourniquet to prevent the spread of venom.
