What is the meaning of a caduceus with one or two snakes?
I always thought that it was the snake in the garden of Eden tempting Adam and Eve with eating from the apple of knowledge?
What is the difference between one and two coiled snakes?

Did you find the answer? It was in the wiki link.
@zenvelo Not sure. I just need to focus and read when I am able. Having some problems reading.
Best guess is one snake is the god hermies and two is mistaken for the medical field.

@RedDeerGuy1 you might want to read here to help clarify some of the confusion. It explains the purpose of the one snake…an easy read!!!
@LadyMarissa, thank you for the ‘read here’ link. It is interesting to note that the double snaked staff frequently has been and is being used as a symbol of medical services when it better represents capitalism.
But since the US has a for-profit medical system, the symbol fits! Ha!
