[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 408224, member: 4362"] This is how I understand it as well. If you simply walk up on one that is sleeping and you quickly disturb him he will not "have time to fill his syringe" he'll just pop you or lay low. This bite can be bad cause the poison is so strong but you didn't get a full dose. On the otherhand, if you go monkeying with one and he gets PO'ed you can literally watch his venom sacs swell. If he pops you in this condition, your in for 7-9 days at the hospital and about $18,000 out of pocket. I'm sure this type bite would kill a calf, dog, cow or whatever. Doc told me that only 30% of the bites here are truly venomous while 90% of the venomous bites were in the face or hand and INVOLVED ALCOHOL. Its worth mentioning, none of this applies to babies, they cannot control the amount and their poison is more neurotoxic at that age. [/QUOTE]
