Ouch!
Gosh, that made me laugh.
No, I'm certain no Steve Irwin, that's for sure. Just that once you get bit and go through all that, you learn reeeeaaaaalllll quick and rreeeaaaallll well. I've also been bit by a Black Widow (was WAY more painful than my worst ever surgery), a brown recluse (not allergic, thank God) and been treated for rabies. However, I think the rabies was from my brothers' girlfriend.....
Anyways, the rabies thing was back in the day. 26 needles 10 feet long and 3 feet big around in the tummy-that just plain sucked.
Oh, and I got shot by salt rock when I was a kid, too. Us Mountain Boys always learn the hard way, ya know. I had so much fun! But now the old body is paying for it. Who knew. But I do still catch snakes with my hands and no protection/Steve Irwin style. Just been doing it for 35 years or so.
