Bob Ashley is the founder of the Chiricahua Desert Museum in Rodeo, New Mexico and lover of all things snake related. He joined me to discuss his recent book titled A Photographic History of Snakebite Treatments: Bad Medicine, Snake Oils, Potions, Elixirs and Kits. We spoke about the origins of the science on anti-venom, how the term "snake-oil" came to be, his collection of snake-oil kits, his connection to Geronimo, future vision for the museum, and much more.
