What is the bite treatment in the US? From what I've heard it is very
different to Australia.
Some camera stuff. A mate from the US was out here a few years ago, and told
us of a great photo he took (35mm lens, so he had to get close) of this
banded snake from about 18". It was a tiger snake. Everyone in the group
sort of shivered a bit, then we told him about luck.

Luckily it only bit me with one fang right in that little piece of skin
between the thumb and first finger. I have never been in such pain
before. The first couple of hours my arm felt like it was on fire. The
pain went away after the first day but my hand and arm remained swollen
for a week. Of course if you get bit in Australia there is probably very
little pain involved, more like quick death!!
