Lol!!!! So, I come home Saturday night many, many, many shades to the wind and get the brilliant idea to handle the hots. Woooooooo!!! Problem is I forget to handle properly. So I have one of the H. macs on me and she does the jump down to the floor. Instead of using any rational method to catch her I just essentially cup her with my hand. So, she teleports up my shirt sleeve and starts biting the bejesus out of me. I can't tell you how many times she nailed me (hey, everything was a bit fuzzy then) but I can tell you it hurt.

Being the supreme man and lover of all creatures that I am I resisted pulverizing her or shaking her out of my sleeve. Eventually she stopped biting (no more juice to give?) and I unbuttoned the sleeve and caught her. My arm felt...bad (LOL!)...and I had some chest contractions and felt like I was breathing through a straw but I said, well...never mind what I said, and passed out (as in went to sleep). The next day I felt a little achy but the rest of the pain I'm fairly certain was a result of 6 hours of drinking hard liquor. I did get back in the saddle and handle her again.

Ok kids, the moral of the story here is if you drink the hard stuff for 6 hours there's a slight chance it might impair your judgment so stick to playing with the docile new world stuff (lol--disclaimer: stick to pedes. disclaimer--hot snakes? disclaimer--ok, just go to bed, forget stuff that can bite.)

I wonder if the alcohol thinning your blood had anything to do with your recovery over night.

I have no idea. Typically when I'm bit I follow it by drinking which seems to help. This time I doubt I could have raised my blood alcohol content any higher than it already was.

Lol. Not really something I would brag about but hey, if it works. Your lucky, a buddy of mine got tagged by a h mac the other day and went to the hospital.

Yeah, P. murinus and S. calceatum were bad ones but I'd pretty much have to be in full body convulsions to go there.

Matt, hoook us up with some bite pics!
There really isn't anything to see. I did call Rob when it happened and got his voice mail (it was the middle of the night) and he's been threatening to distribute it. Apparently the message was pretty classic. NO ROB, YOU STILL DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO PUT IT OUT THERE

Top stuff! Only heroes drink and handle :D

I'm getting my H mac sling in the next couple days, somehow don't think it'll pack that much aggression just yet, but you never know

Great job getting bitten. Have you had any muscle cramping yet? I'm asking because when my 1" H. mac sling bit me I had sore, cramped muscles in my back for an entire week afterward. I'd expect much worse from an adult. How big was she?

I read those bite reports, crazy man. I am correct in assuming you induced those bites to compare the S Calcateum and the H mac right?

Anyway, are you usually quite sensitive as far as allergic symptoms go? Are you allergic to bees/wasps? Do you get hayfever or are you asthmatic? I ask because these are all indicators of someone prone to type 1 hypersensitivity reactions (acute allergic reactions) which may explain why you appear to have experienced worse symptoms than TNB above.

Just for clarity: It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you at all, it's just natural interperson variation.

She's only about 3". Had muscle cramping the night of but not since. I've been bitten a number of times but have never felt the need to go to the hospital or had effects that lingered. I'm fairly certain I've received full loads, too... (which is not to say something couldn't send me to the hospital, bum me out for weeks on end, etc.--it just hasn't happened yet).

Yeah, get annihilated and handle--brilliant. :wall: Your sling won't give you any attitude at all. In my experience they have to be a few inches to give some and even then you can't compare them in defensiveness to, say, an S. calceatum.

Awesome, I can't wait to get my new sling :D I hope you don't get any late effects of the venom too.

Thank god for that! Hadn't heard about any venom "tastings" in a while and thought you'd gone all responsible on us... All is now right with the world, phew!

Lol! Yep, I'm 36 (but arguably when you grow up as one of 4 boys mental development ceases in adolescence). :D
