What happened
Daria is in the Foreshore after-hours clinic at 06:00 on July 21st with a compression wrap on her left hand and the drip already running, the doctor deciding against antivenom because the doctor is not certain it is a Parabuthus sting and the antivenom is expensive. By 11:00 she is in a taxi back to Bo-Kaap with the hand throbbing and a referral for drainage on the counter. By 17:00 she is at the holding table. The thermostat is reading twenty-six degrees. The math is not.
