Hopefully, your quick trip to the ER will make it easier on you. You said it itched a lot. Is it painful now? Eight pills a day!!!! What antibiotic?

I don't understand the medical reasoning behind it, my elbow and wrist hurt for a year after I got bit.

"Nipping it out" means I had right hand snippers and I literally cut the flesh out around the bite. Then I poured peroxide in the hole. I didn't shed a tear but I really aint all that tough (if you know what I mean). You just have to "disconnect" a bit. That part is going to die away anyway - no avoiding it.

The joints in my hand are already easing up. They were hurting. Forearm muscles hurt. Biceps were hurting. I would hate to go a whole year with symptoms. Doggone it!
Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Ya'll be careful. It seems a whole lot of this forum has had experiences that weren't so good.

Love the critters, I used to have two an Indian and an African Python, got their names round the wrong way though, Dylan turned out to be a girl and Alice a boy but hay ho they didn't care I'm sure. Dylan died of old age and Alice a rock in his vivarium fell on his head and killed him...hooknline":2hewjyoq said::lol: How ya doing on snakes then?
