What to do when you get bit?

[burmish101]

Just a question but all those that pop pain pills and drink on it, do you have very low pain tolerence? Or are you afraid that the bites hurt much more than they do? I've had bites that caused allot of pain but nothing that couldnt be handled with a little t.v. or something to that extent Oo

What have you been bitten by, how large was it, and do you think you got a full load?

I'm going to go out on a real limb here and say you're experience with old world bites is minimal.

He's been bitten by an h. mac. It may not be an s. cal but its still pretty stout...apparently.

Why take anything at all? Just sit back and let it run its course. Yeah, its probably going to suck but think about how it feels. Concentrate on the feelings. You're going to make it through with no to minimal side effects and its just going to be a memory before long. At least this way, you can always look back on it and you can tell a good story.

H. macs are indeed supposed to hurt. Do you know how large it was and whether he thinks he got a full load? I have a high pain tolerance and can ride just about anything out, but why? Moreover, I'll use any excuse to drink scotch, lol.

Yea to be honest i dont take medicine and very rarely do i drink, im not a hardass pain is pain...But i usually ride it out and try to hold onto the sensation,It makes you alot more cautious in the future...And if you think a t bite is bad may i suggest a jellyfish... now those are man makers

Been there when in Mexico once. I have no idea what species it was but it wasn't fun. By the way, do those things envenomize prey or is it simply a poison to say "get away!" ?

He mentioned a while back how big it was, I think 3 or 4 inches. Said it messed him up for a coupla months (gotta love the h. mac goodness)

As for jellies, yes, they envenomate their prey. They're very fragile animals and by having very potent venom, they minimize the risk of injury from struggling prey. And its also defensive. If the victim survives, hopefully it'll try to avoid them in the future.

I will.
