Had a soldier once that nearly succumbed to a coral snake bite.

Crazy situation as to how it happened but apparently he had been playing with the snake not knowing what kind it was and it almost cost him his life.

Two dumbasses from my high school were skipping class and came across one in the road. So they said "we should let it bite us so we can miss school the rest of week." I shite you not

So after letting it bite each other on the hand, they went back to one their houses to smoke weed or something. After a couple hours the symptoms started hitting hard and they were puking and losing control of their limbs. One of the kids called his dad and they were Star flighted to a hospital. They missed school alright, one was in the ICU for 9 days and the other 13 days.

Initially they made up some bullshite story about how they didn't know what kind of snake it was and one of them picked it up, it bit him and then he threw it inadvertently landing on the other kid, and then it bit him.

Of course everyone knew that was horseshite and they admitted what actually happened a couple days after they got back. It's sounds so ridiculous that it seems like fiction but it indeed happened. I can probably find a newspaper article about it somewhere, I'll look.
