Bitten by a snake

[Buc]

This link is worth a read even though adder numbers are on the decline there's still striking out on people they are most common in the highlands of Scotland and indeed in the Perthshire area.
Its certainly one fear I do have is being bitten by any snake ..

Anyone on here had any encounters with any snake .

While the bite of an European Adder isn't normally life threatening, it can lead to health problems that linger on for months.

In the 90s when I was 10 years old and living on the Schlumberger compound in Port Harcourt, I found a Jamesons mamba in the bush next to my bedroom window. Two locals came along and hacked it to death with to long pieces of wood. Just a tad more dangerous than an Adder!

"Like other mambas, the venom of the Jameson's mamba is a highly neurotoxic venom. Its other components include cardiotoxins,[15] and fasciculins.[10] In addition, this mamba species' venom may also have hemotoxic and myotoxic components to it....Envenomation by a Jameson's mamba can be deadly in as little as 30 to 120 minutes after being bitten, if proper medical treatment is not attained."

I now live in Australia where you have to start with the assumption that any snake you encounter is deadly. That said, the only snake I have countered regularly is the carpet python. Used to see far more snakes at the bayou in Houston.

Ragnarok that's some snake .

My neighbour in Spain was telling me when he lived in south Africa he was bursting for a pea stopped the car got it out started relieving himself at the nearest bush within a second there was a black mamba waist height within a meter of him hissing

He panicked ran like hell pissing all over his trousers ..

That would!d be just a horrendous experience.

On the plus side, the Black Mamba's venom is almost entirely neurotoxic so in the event that said snake had latched its fangs onto his member and he somehow survived, he likely wouldn't have suffered any permanent damage .

He may have developed a black c*ck though due to necrosis.
