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.

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 XD.

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

Hey buc,

Had a couple of encounters with poisonous snakes in Thailand.

One candlelit table evening while having dinner under a tree, a snake fell onto the table .

Absolutely shat it!

seen a few in Africa which were great experiences.

Living in Australia, there's plenty of sightings of beasties around that can potentially kill you.nevermind in the water.

Seen loads of funnel webs and a few black widow spiders as well as red belly snakes.

But was chased by a cassowary once on a beach haha. Huge bird who can slice your neck with its claws. Arghhhhhhhhh.

Would probably be OK with a mamba. Puff adders and rattlesnakes are the ones which would give you cock rot.

Google image search puff adder bite...not too close to dinner mind you.

Then there's the brazilian wandering spider which gives you a raging hard on for hours.
