[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 134387, member: 4086"] Never heard that before..I do know that healthy adults are sometimes not even considered for antivenin treatment, that they use pain meds and muscle relaxers to treat them( depends on the doc, and the severety, I guess). I saw a little boy suffer pretty bad from a bite before they got the antivenin in him. He was doubled over and screaming at a few points during his visit. Apparently the cramps are no joke. Depending on your reaction, of course. I felt bad for him. His shoulder had a big dark bruise where the bite was..about the size of a golf ball. The antivenin sorted him out though. He still got airlifted to a pediatric hospital. The variance in peoples reaction to different venoms is kind of scary, if you think about it. Either a slight rash...orrrrr DIE!! Crazy. [/QUOTE]
