Garter Snake Envenomation
Hello I thought this would be interesting to post so here I am.
While checking over a garter in rehab it got me fairly good and I experienced the lovely discomforts of being envenomated by a garter snake. Many think garter snakes are nonvenomous but they actually do carry a very mild Neurotoxin that causes localized swelling and bruising, but only able to be injected through their posterior fangs. Sadly no pics of the guy who did it but we nicknamed him Jerk-Face because of it lol. Last pic is 3 days after being bit and first pic was only a day after
