Lizard bite

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Subject does not warrant an individual article. Just because a type of animal has a venomous bite doesn't mean we need an article on it. Most sources online talk solely about how to treat lizard bites, not lizard bites themselves. Delete. Mr. Guye (talk) 22:45, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. Incredibly, I have no idea of how the treatment of lizard bite will be treated without talking about "lizard bite" and its venon. However, lizard bite has been the subject of multiple independent reliable sources and therefore meet our primary inclusion criteria. Emphatically, it passes WP:GNG.

Delete. There seems no reason at all to treat lizard bites as distinct from other bites. The ICD codes given don't - they lump lizards in with other herps, the snakes. If this is an article, it should be merged into snakebite. Andy Dingley (talk) 01:24, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Although there's nothing mentioned as such there is a section at Lizard#Relationship with humans which mentions the bite being painful so there's not really any need for this article. –Davey2010^Talk 01:47, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:. There tend to be big ecological differences between snakes and lizards. Snakebite and Lizard bite are not the same. Both may produce similar venon but the source of the venoms are not the same. I agreed that Lizard venom has much in common with snake venom, and that the venom production apparatus in lizards and snakes are related, but has developed in different directions. Gila and beaded lizards (the poisonous lizards) mainly use venom to defend themselves, while snakes use their venom to attack prey. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 02:10, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect Lizard#Relationship with humans (talks about aggressive lizard behaviours in the first paragragh, which is one kinda related location) or Animal bite (more general, as a medical ailment). 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 04:45, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
