I got bit by a Copperhead!!

[Pearl]

I'll do my best to remind everyone. She could help by putting her birthday on her profile! So could a few others! But, OPSEC!

I thought it was on there, I'll make sure!!

If I ever go hunting hogs in a ditch with only a knife, I'm callin Pearl!!

Plenty of wild hogs here! Just remember when hog hunting with a knife, you only have to outrun the slowest person with you!!

I am not sure if it is or not. Some are not, but then people speak about it being their birthday, and we didn't know.

Some snake venom can affect you even if it just gets on your skin. Coral snakes can be fatal even if they never pierce your skin. Their venom gets on your skin & gets into your system.

I'm glad the swelling is down and that you're feeling better, but please at least consult a doctor. And again, if you start to feel worse, please seek help.

Would soaking in a tub with Epsom salt help?

I bet epsom salt would help!!

 

[Weedygarden]

It's on there!!

Yay!

Did you pour bleach into the bite? it destroys neurotoxins if you get to it before they spread. My dad got bit by a baby one once, he poured it full of rotgut bourbon. I remember he barfed and got the chills, but he was fine the next day.

I'd use a 1,000 to 3,000 ppm chlorine dioxide instead on wound. Then ingest CDS protocol 1000

I treat all my pets and people with it. Works everytime.

Is this where we drop our favourite snake recipe?

I probably would too, but bleach is readily available. Where do you get it?

Hash is a few months OLDER than me, so I'll let him get away with!!

I think I'm right about the same age as the both of y'all. Must have been a H311 of a year

I got Tee Shirts older. What happened to "MR. SNAKE"....???

 

[Caribou]

I bought some on Amazon. I expect a health food store would carry it. You can make your own, you likely have, or can easily get, the parts.

I remember ...

My father coming home with a rifle due to the Cuban missile issue. I didn't know what to think but my parent's demeanor left me bewildered.

the Kennedy funeral and asking if there was anything else on TV ?

Picture of my leg coming soon! Happened about an hour ago! Large male, I jumped back fast enough so as the fangs didn't make full contact! Got hit above the ankle. Red swollen leg, VERY painful at bite. Feel kind of numb all over and not quite right!! Updates as the evening unfolds! I will be ok!

Here's to a speedy recovery while giving you a chance to kick back and relax for a day and have someone re-fill your iced tea glass!

And if you ever see that sorry copperhead, be sure to tell him...
...:Fangs for the memories!"

 

[jishinsjourney]

Holy cow, Pearl! I’m glad you’re all right. Take it easy, and get well quick!

(also, I expect most of the rest of the folks in this thread to tell me to get off their lawn — )

 

[Pearl]

The leg looks better, feeling decent this morning!
