Trouser snake, meet Poisonous snake.
YOWCH!! :eek:
“envenomate” So that’s what the kids are calling it these days.
If it didn’t envenomate him, why the abdominal pain and vomiting? Or was that just a psychosomatic reaction to getting his willy munched on?
That’s what I said in the OP.
The second bit, I think, Canadjun, although dry bites can still really, really hurt.
Beaten to it by the second post.
For certain values of ‘lucky’. :dubious:
Yanno, looking at this snake’s Wikipedia page, I’m sure this guy spent a long night or two wondering if his tallywhacker would still work.
The toxin contains a neurotoxic agents, as well as a coagulants. Even with pressure immobilization being used to contain the toxin, if any had been injected into the guy’s wedding tackle, it seems that such a technique offers the affected limb as something of a sacrifice to the venom, while trying to save the patient. Considering how sensitive the penis’ structures can be to nerve or vascular damage, it would have been looming large in my mind, at least.
It may be ironic to say that this guy was lucky, but I don’t think it is wrong.
Now the bestiality crowd has gone too far!
One of my favorite jokes.
As well as,
“'Scuse me, doc, but can you take away the pain but leave the swelling?”
“Okay…You can bite it just a little. But don’t put none o’ your juice in it!”
Is that one of those “hullo” bites?
[semi-educated guess]The snake didn’t envenomate but any kind of residual venom on or around the fangs would be enough to cause a reaction. This ain’t your momma’s copperhead; the eastern brown is the second deadliest snake in the world.
Sometimes, you just gotta love wikipedia
Yeah, but why would he have abdominal pains if the snake didn’t envenomate him? Could have just been a psychosomatic reaction to getting his leather mule fang rode.
Are you serious? I just told you that.
