Did you die?

Obviously not, but it sure uglyized him.

True story.

Well yea.


But really no. CSB---->

What had happened was I was shooting some hoops against my bro-in-law about 9pm one night at their house. The ball rolled under the house between a gap in the lattice work. He told me crawl under there and get it. So I did. I was feeling around in the dark for the ball and felt a thump on my elbow. Didn't really hurt. I thought maybe a frog or something had knocked into me. I then found the ball crawled out and we started back playing. A couple minutes later my elbow is feeling all funny, I looked down and see two little holes with blood coming out. Didn't take long to figure out what happened. He loads me up and we haul arse to the Crossett AR hospital ER. Quite possibly the worst hospital on the planet. By the time we get there my my elbow is the size of a football. My sister, a nurse, had tied a tourniquet with some pantyhose before we left. The ER doc mainly just cursed her for doing something so stupid and didn't do much for relieving my fears of dying. By this time they had called the local "snake man" to crawl under the house and try to find the snake. He did. A 3' stump tail that was laying in a water puddle where their A/C dripped down. Apparently I had crawled right on top of him. The ER doc shoots me full of antibiotics. Says Mossicans arent really overly venomous, just extremely loaded with bacteria and nasty shite. So antivenom is seldom used. They "monitored" me for about 4 hrs. Meaning I just sat on a bed until I had had enough and loaded my now basketball sized elbow up and got bro-in-law to take me home. I stayed pretty sick for a few days, and it took a while for the swelling to go down. But I did not in fact die. Good times..

No.
Did you see that picture, kill them all

We're eskimo snakebite bros. I also was bitten about 10 yrs ago running crawfish traps in Chataignier. Pulled up a a trap and a decent sized cottonmouth was coiled up with a fish in it's mouth. I had thick leather bbq gloves on so I reached in and grabbed it (like a complete dumbass). Well as soon as I reached in, he let the fish go and struck me on the wrist barely puncturing through the leather but enough to leave two small holes after I removed the glove. We hightailed it back to the levee and got to the truck and was thinking we needed to get to ER as soon as possible but let it go a few mins to see how bad it would get (like a dumbass). Thankfully, my wrist never swole up and all I got was slightly nauseated for a few hrs. I got a tetanus shot the next day to prevent infection and was good to go. Apparently I dodged a big bullet because after doing some research on the matter, roughly half of all moccasin bites are "dry bites". Im assuming that the fish he had in his mouth to the brunt of the venom and that piercing through the leather gloves probably caused a dry bite. It scared the living shite out of me though and I have a high respect for them now, like I should have had to begin with.

Your balls really must be the size of the ones that hang on trailer hitches.

Not at all. Was a young, dumb, full of cum 19 yr old trying to act tough in front of a friend and almost paid for it dearly.

My favorite kind of snake. Dead.
