re: Snake bite through boots?

A buddy got bit by a water moccasin in 8th grade near Indian creek. He hauled arse (big no-no) and then had a long drive to the hospital. They had to make 5 or 6 large incisions in his leg to relieve the swelling. Some intense scars and a lot of pain.

We were all creek hiking and he wa me the last one...jumped up screaming from a pool of knee deep water and we looked at his ankle and saw a small puncture. Somebody said “if it was a snake thee would be two holes” and then somebody else said “look!” And we saw a second hole over an inch away. Then all hell broke loose. It was just like something you’d see in the movies.
