    I remember reading a news article at least 50 years ago now; about a man that was bitten by a rattler. He managed to grab the snake and bite it back. The man survived, the snake didn't.

      Cassandra Multifandom, I heard one OFW a filipina who serves for 16 years to a Singaporean family, who she killed the back king cobra was roaming around her employer house in the front house yard/garden, she might think that when her employer will return home would bite him, she killed the cobra using broomstick.

      I've never seen a bunch of blood ( like all in a bag, I have seen it through cuts and stuff) but maybe that's what happens when a lot of blood is put together in a pack.

    • @slippynips8470
      @slippynips8470 8 років тому +26

      It's from the vein, that will be why. In the military, you learn to recognise different shades of blood to determine if it's an arterial wound, vein trauma or flesh wounds. The darker the blood, the more severe the wound usually. There are exceptions but it's usually locational.

  • @llantup
    @llantup 8 років тому +16

    Snakes are NOT aggressive. They are purely defensive. Consider the size difference between a person and a snake: if something comparatively larger than you were to come at you, you'd be terrified. You'd use any and all means to either escape or to scare off your attacker. But you'd never consider yourself aggressive towards that larger creature, would you?

    I was bitten by a copperhead on my forearm in the Southeastern US and was given no anti-venom. I think the doctors enjoyed seeing how large my arm would swell in 15 hours. They told me they wouldn't have provided me with the anti-venom unless I had produced the dead snake.

I lost the use of the first three fingers which gradually over time returned to almost full function. The index and ring fingers still remain somewhat stiffened.
