One tha almost cost me my life. I was gathering firewood for our fireplace and as I reached into my family's big stockpile of firewood, a Timber rattler or Canebrake as we call them around here got me in the hand. The snakes fang's got me right in the middle of the back of my hand. My brother killed the snake for identification so the doctor wouldn't have toguess what type of rattler it was (there are about 5 different types around where i live). I was in the hospital for at least 7 hours. And now because of all the shit they gave me I've been bedridden for the past few days. :( |

Rattlers, Mother Nature's assasins. Get better soon and listen carefully. The "assasins of Mother Nature" will usually let you know to stay as far away from the immediate vicinity as possible. But still get better soon. |

The symptoms was mostly the bite being extremely painful as well as the flesh around the wound starting to die off, as to the snake itself, it was an adult timber rattler so yes it was venomous, but not as venomous as say an eastern diamond back. If it had been one of those I wouldn't be typing right now. Also Hypno yes rattlers will usually warn you about staying the hell away, but apparently none told this particular snake. |

Technically wouldn't it be 1-1, since your brother killed the snake? |

Maybe, if you count the snakes quick and relatevly painless death of a broken neck courtesy of my brother and a steel shovel. The actual bite didn't hurt much, it was the venom that felt like molten lead in my veins. So it's really how you interprete it. |

So the scores read this - One to Cleric because he's still alive One to Cleric's brother for killing the snake Snake had a point but lost it when he had an untimely death and for that we are happy. In any case, like everyone else, I hope you're feeling better, you're pretty lucky to still be here. |
