Possible venomous bite? What to do (and not to do)

Good article.

Great article. Beats my method of killing any and all snakes in my grid square with a shovel. And a pick. Dynamite if available. Then I burn the remains. And bury them. After soaking them in lye.

I really dislike snakes. And leeches.

You don't have leeches in your first aid kit?

After having an upsetting episode with leeches in Panama I hate them. Can't even watch the Jungle Queen sequence with Bogey and Hepburn - I get the willies.

So went swimming with DWs brothers and a nephew - who neglected to tell me there may or may not be leeches in the water. There was. When I found one attached to my finger, I beat it repeatedly into said bro-in-laws' dashboard. Dunno how the dashboard survived, leech was pretty dead though. So no, no leeches in FAK. Funny how they are featured in Game of Thrones.

Good article. Thanks
