In my yard.

ER gave me 5 bags of antivenom put me in ICU and charged me 110667 dollars!!

You gotta make a lot of holster to pay that bill......

In my yard.

Time to scorch the earth. About 100 gallons of gas and a match. No more snakes in the yard.

Yes it did. My leg was like 3 times it's normal size

Ouch.... That sucks.

I've seen some where the flesh has rotted and split open. Nasty stuff.

I'm curious, a few years ago I was researching these types of bites and some of the details on wound care had the doctors going in and removing the "wound sack". Essentially the flesh inside the fang penetrations. The report said it helped in healing and getting the residual toxins out.

Is that something they discussed or did?

(I handle nuisance snakes sometimes and try to keep up on current details)

Dam, think of the guns that 110667 would have bought, but you had to go or face really serious consequences,
Didn't get snake but at a Pistol match had to prop on elbows and broke loose a bone spur, surgery the 10th, hurts like a SOB, be 67, 5 days after surgery, maturing is a biaaaatch.

No not really. I think the best thing I did was get on it and be active over just lying around!!
