Lisa you reminded me years ago I was bitten by a snake. I saw the snake but didn't realise it bit me until started feeling funny. I was wearing jeans but no knickers, so had to put knickers on before I rang the ambulance. (even though I know you are meant to keep still and apply a pressure bandage ). No way was I going to die with no knickers on!
Brother/sister in law were visiting friends down the road and saw ambulance race up the hill, and came up. In the meantime, my dog had killed the snake which was now a mangled mess. So snake and I off to hospital, where they did a test on snake to find it was not venomous. I had just reacted to the bite. But all hospital staff found it funny and came to look at mangled snake.
